Cow tipping is a rural activity in which people sneak up on a sleeping, standing cow in the dead of night and push it over sideways. It is considered an urban legend since cows do not sleep standing up and are very heavy. Cow tipping is supposedly a form of entertainment primarily undertaken by drunk, bored adolescents. Although in recent years, it's been suggested that cow tipping is an urban myth.
