Can somebody post  a video of cow tipping?

Any Advice?

Somebody will give my friend and I 500 dollars each to tip a cow.

Tips?

This sounded like easy cash, but I realized tipping cows is hard after some research, so any help would be much appreciated.

This is serious

I did it once its fun but hard as hell and it kills the cow when you do it. Being silent it the key because we went to do it a second night and my friend slipped in cow shit and it wasnt too loud and all the cows woke up and started mooing so we bolted back.

get the smaller/skinnier ones. easier to tip over, and less likely to break their ribs.

good luck man.  those things are heavy as fuck.  you'll probably need more than two people unless both of you are big dudes.  If you do decide to do it...here is everything you need to know about the mechanics of tipping a cow...

Cows don't sleep standing up, sooooo......

And if you try, don't worry about breaking its ribs. You'll sooner dislocate your shoulder trying to tackle it over than break its ribs. Go for glory, and have everyone who's with you at the time just run and body check it.

One of my friends tipped a cow and after it fell the cow kicked him in the shins and compound fractured his fibula.

their ribs break on impact and then the broken ribs can puncture their lungs or organs or something and kill them

it is quite easy.. my brother and my cousin did it when i was younger and all you have to do is when they are sleeping come up and push really hard ,, because they sleep standing. and if they chase you run in zig zags because that slows them dow n

i didn't know it would kill the cow.  It was one of the drunk ideas that I thought was good at the time.

I'm not killing any cows.

They dont die unless you run at them.  You tip them over, not hit them with your car.

Have you ever done it?

What would make you think that they would die?  And they sleep sitting down fyi.  This thread is filled with so much misinformation.

not to be a pussy or anything but its pretty lame....you kill the cow which isnt cool. and i imagine that cows are pretty expensive so that would be like someone thinking its funny to flip your car over.

Actually on second thought it would be really funny for someone to flip your car over

you're right, they do not sleep standing (that's horses). but they do sit down and cross their legs to sleep.
they do not simply fall onto their sides. and if you tip one over onto it's side it will probably not get up. it is also extremely likely that it's bones will break on impact from the sheer force. the bigger they are, the harder they fall, and cows are fucking big. sometimes the cow's head can be twisted and pushed into the ground, it's neck can break, it's ribs can break and pierce vital organs, it's legs can break (resulting in having to be put down) etc.

it's stupid and cruel, not only to the animals but to the owners as well.

Yeah, cows very very rarely sleep standing up. If they are standing up then they are probably just dozing. Also, unlike horses cows kick to the sides and not behind. I've been kicked a few times by my steer. Shit hurts so be careful when walking through a pasture full of cows. Another thing... Holstein cows (aka milk cows) are meaner than sin.

Yea don't do that shit, wtf.

That's not cool, it's animal cruelty. I'm pretty sure most of us were against that kid who beat up the cat in the tub, why tip cows? It can break ribs and it has killed cows. Not cool.

my neighbor owns a ranch, he has longhorns and regular cows.  i have never EVER once seen one sleeping while standing up and i worked for him for like 8 years as a middle school and high school kid and two summer of college.  NEVER have i seen one sleeping standing up.

and yes, it is animal cruelty, can kill them...  and well, is kinda stupid.  i hope you get kicked and have your shin broken or find a longhorn that starts charging at you.  not hurt you, but just charges you.

hahaha whoever claimed they have tipped a cow is so full of shit.  cows dont sleep standing up that is a complete myth.  even if you can get close enough to a cow there are about 5 others around going "what the fuck is this kid doing?" and they spook very easy.

also farmers sleep with both ears open and can definately if shit is hitting the fan on their fields. 

you try it your not going to get very far.

oh yea and cows dont fucking die when you tip them over.  maybe in extremely rare situations where the cow fell wierd but they can definately take the impact.  How the fuck do you think they get on the ground to sleep?

I love how people are outraged when they see a video of a kid beating a cat, but so many people have no problem with the idea of going out and killing cows for pleasure. when you tip them, they cant get up, and will most likely die for one reason or another, especially if they are not found by the farmer in time. its straight up cruel.

this sentence is contradictory, unless the cow kicked him on the side of the leg, then it would be a cmp fracture to the tibia, the fibula is in the back protected by the calf muscle. and you shin is your tibia sooo,
