To keep a patch dry to eat later on. Wet grass doesn't taste nice.

There is an old saying if the cows lay down during a rain, it will last a while. If they keep standing will not be a long shower.

Sorry, that's a myth. If it were true, then all cows would lie down in the rain. So either half of them are confused or they're too dumb to know it's raining.

I used to believe this but I reckon it's a myth, we've lived opposite cows ina field for years. Just lately they've been relishing the rain after the heat, normally they stand under trees but they were all out today in the middle of it.

because when they get wet they get really heavy. If they stay standing up there's a chance their legs will break, so they lie down just in case. Cows are not as stupid as some people think.

What would you like for the cow to do? Stand up and sing "Singing in the rain..."
