Cows do not necessarily lie down if it's raining. this is an old myth. The reason cows lie down, is to chew the cud. A cow has two stomaches. When they grass, the devour their food fast without digesting it. This food in it's undigested state goes into the first stomach. When they have filed this stomach, they then lie down to regurgitate this food, which is then passed into the second stomach. Then the process starts all over again.

You must be from the country to understand this.
Many animals are aware of on coming storms and will lay down to protect the area they want to remain dry.
This method of predicting rain has been in use for centuries.
A common joke in farm country was for a caller to ask the local radio station which was adjacent to a GOAT farm; if the goats were laying down or feeding.
People had come to rely on what the 'Goat For cast' was for their daily chores. Highly accurate at that!

Cows dont sleep standing up. I am a cowboy and they often lay down to sleep & chew there cud. Cud is regergetated alfalfa from the ruminent of the cows stomache. They have a ruminant stomache which means they have 4. The omasim, abomasim, rumin, & ruticulum

If they suspected rain...they wouldn't sleep. Even if the rain took days to arrive, they would keep awake. Silly cows...lol
