Why People Who Know About Cows Think That the Cow Tipping Story is Largely an Urban LegendĬartoon panel 1 (top of this article): There is no such thing as a cow “locking its legs.” They don’t have to because cows sleep lying down (people may be confusing them with horses which do sleep standing up). But you will probably find that you don’t have to ask very many people to find someone who absolutely swears they tipped cows over exactly the way it’s described in the cartoon above. Anyone who has ever worked closely with cows knows that almost every statement in the cow tipping story is false (as we will explain below). We call this the most urban (city-like) of all Urban Legends because it’s a story believed by city folk, although farm people have been known to tell it as a tall tale.
