this thread is strange. Ultima Online use to have cow tipping, it was sort of an easter egg in the game. Kinda funny too when ppl discovered it, but then got annoying

dude, over 1/2 of the guys in my senior class have gone cow tipping (although at that time it usually took 2 of us to tip em over) go to any central Texas high school, and hold up a sign that says take me cow tipping, you're bound to get 1/2 a doz. offers to go with them the next weekend. (they usually ask you provide the beers tho.

cow tipping is possible. its what the rednecks do when they dont have things to do that require a brain.

and why in gods name would you have to shoot a cow that has been tipped? does shooting it make it get up?

if you walk up to a cow and start pushing on it, it will either walk/run away from you, or knock you down. cows weight too much to push over anyway, have you ever been to a rodeo? steer wrestling ain't easily done
 
You Fvckin city folk.....Ok, lets get all this sorted out....Yes you can tip a cow, no they dont sleep standing up(I have not ever seen a cow sleep standing up in my 22 years of living on a farm, my dad, a farmer grew up on a farm and still farms at 53 hase never seen a cow sleep standing up, my uncle who grew up on a farm, and is older than my dad has never seen a cow sleep standing up, nor has the rest of my uncles, aunts, cousins, and my grandpa. END OF THAT DISCUSION) How ever, at night when they wind down from grazing all day, they stand around kind of zoned out chewing there cud from which they have thrown up from the first of there 4 stomachs. though most cows lay down to do this because they spend an insane amount of time just chewing there cud. You then at that time can sneak up on a cow. Mind you that the cow is zoned out but still awake. Now, if you startle one cow, you startle the heard, or if the cow has a calf near by and feels threatened, i hope you can run fast because you are about to be on FOX's new hit TV show, "When BOVINE Attack".

Now when you do get up and sneaked up to the cow of yer choosing, you need some good pushing force, if you say or have heard of someone pushing over a cow by them self, they are in fact telling a blatant lie.....and you know who you are.....liers.....even with two ppl you still need alot of force to push one over, like a running start....GJ on sneaking up on the cow. Now, we have all heard of this guy or them guys went cow tipping and pushed over a cow and we were all drunk/high in high school/college. All i have to say is STFU because w/o proof, no one will believe you. I have heard these stories personally from my freinds....what do i say to them?......STFU dude.

And now for the after match of "cow tipping". you ever seen a cow on its side or back? And when i say on there side i mean all four legs are sticking strait out.......no.....the reason for this is if a cow is pushed or rolled that far over, the cow can be hurt very badly and even die. This is due to the four stomachs i was talking about earlier. When tipped, the stomachs get shifted out of place causing it to bloat and die......BUT, if you can catch a cow before it dies, you can puncture in to the side of the cow to relieve the gas build up. Yes you can do this, i've seen where they have cut a hole in the side of a cow and incerted a plug they can take in and out to do research on how cows digest food.

All this info is coming strait out of rural Nebraska where the cow and cornfields insanely out number the 1200 ppl, us redneck stereotypes that live in my town here.


So to all the ppl who claim to have taken part in this.....proof? no? STFU and get in the truck, i'm taking yall snipe hunting.

Someone who thinks they can tip a cow has never stood next to a cow before.
Hint: watch them on the rodeo shows on ESPN when they try to tackle the calves.. (baby cows)...

(I can just hear you "rocket surgeons" out there... "but cows are really docile! They *never* run... they're not strong.. and they sleep standing up.")

not all of them do all the time. some sleep standing up, some lay down. it's really funny tho when you tip a cow on it's side and you hear THUD <1/2second pause> MRooooooooooooo

edit: and yes I have gone cow tipping, and no you don't have to shoot them the next day.....unless you're tipping them using the front end of a chevy.:Q (and they're not that hard to push over, just plant both hands just above the fattest part of their stomach and push)

I nominate you for ATOT idiot of 2005. The position is wide open. You tipped a cow by yourself, huh?

Oh, and 1/2 of the guys in your senior class are liars. Well, at least you are... they haven't claimed to have gone cow tipping on this forum.

btw... doesn't a rancher have the right to shoot you (in Texas) if you're on his property, causing damage?
edit: or rather, attempting to cause damage




 
Thank you for debunking that myth with a solid internet article. I'm glad I wasn't lured into that trap.

No, but I heard two environmental studies students talking about cow punching awhile back. I don't know if I should take that literally, they never told me what it was.

Is it anything like donkey punching?

lol, that article is hilarious.

Of course, it is still possible that someone somewhere has toppled a cow. A young one? that is anorexic? and blind? and deaf? and in the middle of sneezing.
