I own cows, and let me tell you, they do not sleep standing up. If you go out at night and see one standing up, believe me it is a wake, and a cow maybe laid back, but if you tick it off (most of all the bull) it will hurt you, and believe me they can really hurt.

Finally, attempting to tip a cow is a potentially dangerous activity. Despite the animal's reputation for being placid and slow-moving, a cow is easily capable of hurting someone when provoked or nervous; a herd of cows or a bull (easily mistaken for a cow in the dark) would be even more dangerous. It is also a common practice among dairy farmers to keep lactating cows inside and to keep pregnant cows who are not in milk outside until they calve. Thus, if cow tipping is attempted where most cattle are kept inside in large barns but only a few by comparison are kept in pasture, there is an increased chance that the target of cow tipping may be pregnant. Whether an attempt at cow tipping is effective or not, even startling a pregnant cow or heifer could cause her to run and fall unnecessarily and could damage the unborn calf or the freshening cow or heifer.

this is a myth. A friend of mine grew up on a farm and told me that cows don't sleep standing up. I didn't believe him and was visiting him one day on his farm, in Kansas, and he told me to come out with him and sure enough, the cows that were standing were awake and would move away from us and the ones that were laying down were sleeping. So if you push it while it's asleep it'll already be on the floor and hence you can't really move it that much to kill it.

Sure if one hits the cow hard enough with a 1/2 ton truck.

Contrary to popular belief,"tipping cows" isn't something you can really do
