Cow Tipping

>Friend one sneaks up to about 10 foot away from cow
>Runs full speed and knocks it over
uh-huh. Sure.

Someone explain cow-tipping to me. Is it some sort of American urban legend, or do people genuinely go out in the middle of the night and try to get cows to fall over?

They do know that cows can get back up again, right? And that they can kick and trample and may or may not have horns just right for goring depending on local farming practice.

Like someone explain this one to me.

Also, the belief that someone could "sneak up on" a cow in a field.

Cow-tipping is like snipe hunting. An elaborate joke that the country folk play on the recently-transplanted or visiting city folk. The ideal result is that the cow will chase the city boy across the pasture in the dark and he will slip in a pile of cow poop.

Yes, it's really as uncomplicated as that.

You do know that snipes actually exist, right?

the joke is that you tell someone how to catch a snipe in a really stupid-ass way, and that real snipes are hard to catch even for experienced hunters

I've only known one group of kids that tried cow tipping. They couldn't budge the fucker. Then they ran away the minute the cow began to actually move.

I'm pretty sure it's just a prank that gets pulled on city kids.

its fake and revolves around the myth that cows sleep standing up. anyone who has ever been around cattle know they sleep laying down, and speaking from experience you can't just push one over.

Got my jaw shattered halter breaking a steer last year because i pushed on his side to try get him in the chute correctly and he lurched forward and pinned me against a post.

have you never taken someone snipe hunting? you tell them the point is to catch them alive because bird collectors pay huge money for them, then you walk around hitting things with a stick for a while then pretend you heard a snipe, tell them to take the bag and go over there, and you will chase it out. Then you run back to the truck and drive away leaving them there until they figure out what happened and walk home.

The joke is getting your friends to walk into a shit covered field with giant animals that may or may not take kindly to them being there.

You can't tip cows. They usually sleep laying down, and even if they aren't it'd be like you going out at night to flip over people's cars.

Cowtipping is gay and fake. Cows weigh 6 gorillion pounds and they will all rush you if you get near them.

t. faggot who tried it

Reminds me of a story

>Live innacountry
>Friend lives on dairy farm, he has a good relationship with its owners
>He gets really high one night
>Calls all of us to tell us he loves us
>We investigate
>We find him with a cow crying about how sorry he is that he took her baby away
>Hugs the cow
>Cow don't give a fuck, she's getting pet (no one ever realizes how much cows love being pet)
>Eventually he falls asleep hugging/laying on cow
>He bought that cow from the owners and still has her as a pet

She's a cool fucking cow though. Very lick happy as well.
