s cow-tipping possible? Research from the University of British Columbia suggests that the idea of knocking over a standing cow during its slumber just doesn't stand up.
For one thing, cows do not sleep standing up. What's more, simple physics suggests the force of a single person is hardly enough to cause a standing cow to topple over.
“Two could do it in theory,” Dr. Margo Lillie, a zoology professor at the university, toldModern Farmer. “But it’s not going to be easy, and as soon as the cow responds by bracing herself or leaning into you — which she will do — it will be even harder.”
So, how much brawn would it take to tip a bovine?
