IT is the kind of story you hear from a friend of a friend — how, after a long night in a rural hostelry and at a loss for entertainment in the countryside, they head out into a nearby field.
There, according to the second-hand accounts, they sneak up on an unsuspecting cow and turn the poor animal hoof over udder.
But now, much to the relief of dairy herds, the sport of cow-tipping has been debunked as an urban, or perhaps rural, myth by scientists at a Canadian university. |

This post is for my dead hommies in northern Canada. Scientists say, cow tippin ain't easy. Sometimes its deadly.
We keeps it real. |

=Actually it involves a little black magic, my garden boy showed me how to do it 25 years ago in Rhodesia. |
