4. Actually,
You have to grab the legs on the opposite side, from underneath, and then push.

I've never done it to a cow, but that's how you tip calves for branding.

5. I've always understood cowtipping to be sneaking up on the while they are sleeping and trying
to tip them over.

I've tipped and mutilated a few calves myself,
I just don't think it's the same thing.

7. Evidently, the secret is to do it with tongue firmly in cheek
The approach to Cow Tipping is quite simple, but relies on a number of scientific facts. Firstly, and most importantly, Cows sleep standing up. As they prepare to fall asleep, they lock their legs into position and remain that way. Secondly, by the principle of moments, a force applied towards the top of a sleeping cow, as far away from its feet as possible, will cause it to pivot about its hooves. Combining these two basic facts, Cow Tippers sneak into fields at night and push over sleeping cows.

Before you go out and try and apply these principles, there are several important practices that must be observed when Cow Tipping. Firstly, the aim of Cow Tipping is not to injure the cows. A responsible Cow Tipper always places some sort of padding (usually an old mattress or several cushions) on the ground where the cow is going to be tipped. A good test for whether the padding is thick enough is to give a friend a ‘piggy back' ride, and then allow yourself to fall forwards onto the mattress, keeping your body straight and not letting your arms break your fall. If it hurts, then more padding is required. Do not worry about not being able to retrieve the mattress. The cow will very rarely continue sleeping once tipped; it will tend to realign itself and continue to jump about the field, bucking and mooing

2. No more than 15%
Let gravity, and the cow, do the rest.

8. Got it high and hard, create a decent momentum arm. Then they go down
like anna nicole smith on anyone with drugs or money or clothing or whatever.
