While I've never tried it I've been told by people who have tried it said that it is practically impossible to tip over a cow. Besides the fact that they weigh a ton (practically) they don't go willingly. Check out this website.

But I would suppose if you did manage to get the cow down it could get up on its own.

YES IT CAN. IT IS AN URBAN LEGEND THAT A COW CAN'T GET BACK UP. CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING:
- Cow tipping -
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A potential victimCow tipping is a pastime allegedly common in rural areas, in which participants sneak up on an upright sleeping cow and then push it over for amusement. Some variants of this urban legend state that the cow is then unable to get up.
Fact or urban legend?
Based on the cow's weight and body structure, and the potential force that could be exerted make the tipping by pushing physically impossible for a single person.
[1] However it could potentially be done by two people.
[2] The amount of force and feasibility of tipping would also be highly dependent upon the stance of cow at the moment.

Cow tipping is a very cruel thing to do, I hope you are not planning on doing.
Can a cow get back up from it's side? It depends on whether or not it broke it's ribs when it fell.

You can't actually tip a fully grown cow, just nudge them a little. Sometimes they fall over on their own, though, and they have no trouble getting back up.

There is no way you can push a cow down unless you hit him with a car or drug him. In these two cases, I suspect he will have problems getting up.
