Cow tipping, often considered an urban legend, 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. There are factors which make the possibility unlikely at most; one such factor being that cows (as with most herd-prey animals) only take irregular naps throughout the day, often surrounded by awake members of the herd, making them almost impossible to sneak up on. Cows also are known to have superior fields of vision to humans, making them potentially very wary of intruders.

The only cow tipper / cow tipping I've heard about is in the animated movie about a race car. Larry the cable guy played a tow truck. Dang me, it's on the tip of my tounge.

I always thought it was some kind of joke. My son has a t-shirt that says, "Member, Cal Poly Cow Tipping Team." I did check with him when I first saw the t-shirt, and he confirmed that Cal Poly had no such team.

It's a type of stupid thing that bored teenagers in rural areas do to cause trouble. They lodge cows to fall off their hoofs making it impossible for them to get themselves back up.

You're a person that breaks into farm fields or walk into a farm field with cows and while they are sleeping you push them over or "tip" them over on their side.
