Page "Cow tipping" Paragraph 2

According to the myth, cattle are slow-moving, slow-witted and weak-legged, and can easily be pushed over without much force, both because they have a high center of gravity, and because they sleep standing.

However, despite the widespread legend of tipping cows, numerous publications have debunked the practice's feasibility.

Cattle only rest while standing, rather than sleeping that way, and they are easily disturbed.

Additionally, they represent over half a ton of weight that would easily resist a lesser tipping force.

A variety of calculations have been performed to determine if cow tipping is physically possible.
