For anyone who has not heard of this there have always been stories floating about of people who 'claim' to have seen or done cow tipping. This is the idea that cows sleep standing up and if you are quiet and get them at the right time you can 'tip' / push them over so they lay there with their feet sticking up in the air.
Well according to a scientific study it might turn out that all the people who have claimed to ato have done or seen this might be lying after all. The study claims that not only is it just not possible for a single person to generate enough force to tip a cow but after extensive searching on youtube they have not been able to find any videos of a person tipping a cow.

So ATS the big question of the day is : Cow Tipping, real or fake?

If you do it with a bull, you are insane.
A smallish cow/yearling? Fun stuff when your drunk.

Real. Been there, done that. They don't just fall over, though. They scramble to get up,a nd may chase you down.

Sleeping? Maybe not. I have seen them in a laying type position (legs folded beneath them) many times. Especially driving down the roads here in Texas.
But they will "zone out". If they zone enough, you can sneak up on them. If not, they will know you are coming.
If you are big/strong, you might catch a yearling off guard.
We never did this to city slickers. We would just get drunk and galavant around the fields. I once fell into some cactus while doing this.

Cows won't works its fake.
Bulls however... They are top heavy so the bigger they get the more easy it is..
You should try it sometime.
