Has anyone ever done this, or known anyone to ever do this ? hell is it even possible ?

I was invited to a friends place in farmland who has cows and we were planning to see if it was even possible

comments, discussion ?

I've never understood anything about cow tipping. Namely, where it came from, and why it's supposed to be funny. :

good luck tipping 2000lbs animals over with a risk of dying? it's possible though, but you're better off pulling birds wings off or something

Yeah there are lots of people that did that sort of stuff at college. I went to school in a "cow town", it was very small with a big agriculture program and farms all around. I think you need two guys and have to sneak up on them while they are sleeping in the middle of the night. They sleep standing up. I never did it but there were crazier, drunker folks that did.

Ah yes cow tipping, its a popular pasttime in rural communities with bored teenagers, basically the tipper is usually very drunk before, and usually they and a friend sneak up on an unsuspecting 1500lb. cow, and apparently since these animals sleep on their feet, they're knees lock up, and they are easy prey for a pranker to push the cow gently but with great force, enough to knock the cow onto its side, and this process is seen as comical in nature and a funny story to tell people.

Of course you have to make sure your not pushing a bull, and that your chosen cow isnt among several other cows you could potentially anger.
Oh, and theres the possibility of hurting the poor unsuspecting animal too.

What the hell is the point of tipping over a cow? I think it's pretty much impossible, it would be like trying to tip over a small car, unless you have more than 1 or 2 people helping I guess.
