Is this a real thing?

If it is, why can't I find any videos on youtube of it?

If the steak is tasty I like to tip the cow and the waiter.

Forget the tipping, it's the Cattle Mutilation that's never caught on tape... Weird stuff. Any theories?

Cow tipping's a myth, I'm afraid.

Also, cows are large and cranky, so I don't recommend checking.

Ive never met a cranky cow. Bulls yes, but cows no.

In the US(where the phrase cowtipping was coined) you can drive a car legally at the age of 16. So imagine Galway(only 20 or more times the size), less rain, can drive at 16, have access to car, are bored of an evening... I doubt its a myth.

It's a myth because it's basically physically impossible. Even the more petite cows weigh around half a ton, they've got four legs to stand on, and they actually don't sleep standing up in the first place.

When they're awake and on their feet, they're pretty alert and they don't take kindly to random hillbillies trying to push them over - if a stranger approaches, they get wary and will either keep their distance or adopt a defensive "I'm about to charge you through that hedge over there" stance.

And they're not as dopey as they look. If something is trying to push them over, they'll just adjust their footing.

Sheep tipping on the other hand is actually possible, if you can get close enough. And they'll get stuck on their back too, because the wool flattens down under their weight, which is why farmers have to wander around counting them. Fun fact - they can't pee when they're rolled over like that, so when you do rescue them and set them upright the first think they do is relieve themselves. For ages. It's weird.

As a dairy farmer I can tell you that cow tipping is a myth, they don't sleep standing up and way too strong and sturdy to be just pushed over. The closet I've seen, took place in a shed, took 3 men, a vet, some rope and anesthetic. The cow was being operated on and had to be knocked on her side before we started. It wasn't easy.

I've seen cowboys pulling down horses by roping one front leg and simply falling on their asses. Haven't tried this meself yet. I'd be fairly sure I'd pull down a moving cow with a rope around it's opposite side (farthest) front leg.

Never heard of this cow tipping till I went to college in Dublin.

Now calf tailing, thats a skill.

You get one person to lie down in the middle of a field. All the cattle will come over to look at the person out of curiosity. Someone else sneaks up, chooses an animal, grabs their tail, the animal bolts and you hold on as long as you can. You usually pick a smaller animal like a weanling as bigger animals are much stronger and have longer legs to kick you with. I once saw a calfs tail coming off from doing this!

Yes chucken ........... but not confirmation

Anecdotially .......... a Yank visiting the auld country ........ called to the relatives (very distant) in The Kingdom ......... asked if he could milk a cow ...... was given the stool (no bad jokes please) and bucket. Having seated himself comfortably he proceeded to milk the two front paps ........... and after a half bucket

the cow tipped over backwards

.This is a true story.
