Has anyone heard a saying that when cows lie down to expect rain?
and does anyone know if it's true and why or is it as my mate say's a load of tosh
Answers:
Yes I have. Yes it's true. Yes it's to keep the grass dry beneath them to some extent. Yes I've seen it. My Dad was a farmer for about 11 years and they had dairy cattle that used to do that.
i dont think iv ever herd that but u never know!

Yea I've heard it expect it was when cows lie down together under the tree it is expected to rain. I don't think it is true but there has been several time when it has rained.
Don't worry- When it doesn't, they get up again.
apparently its true, but to be honest, even they don't know in todays climate!
I've seen a field with some cows lieing down some still on their feet! they were expecting sunny spells with a little rain I think. : )
Yes but I am not sure if its an old wives tale or not.
I've heard it and it's totally true! you may get the odd one who doesn't lie down but generally yeah thay do
yes ive heard of it and it seems to be so.but if you watch animals they can tell us a lot about weather and they do.birds are probably the best example.;0)
Ive heard it,they are supposed to lie down so they have a dry piece of grass to lie on when the rain comes.
Cows graze before long rains, but seek shelter before showers.
Cattle graze in low lands for a storm and on high ground for clear weather.
When cows refuse the pasture in the morning, expect rain before night.
If cows lie down in early morning, expect rain at night
i heard when cows bellow for long periods some one is going to die but i dont believe any of it
yes to the cows, it means they are tired... dont know about the tosh?
yes I have heard ot this,and yes it's seems to be true..
I heard that, don't know if it's true though, there's no Cows near me.
its meant to be true but whenever its raining some are stood up and some are laid down, so we will never know!!
ive heard of it and when i have been by cows and its rained they were laying down! weird x
It is true ! If u ever pass a cow field and a few are lying down i bet you will get rain .its a fact .
yep, my mom used to say that whenever she saw cows lying down.
Yes in the UK it is true, it is also true in the UK that when cows stand up it will rain, in fact whatever cows do in the UK it will bloody well rain!!
Hope this helps?
No, it's not true! We are cattle owners, and there's always some laying down. So if it were true, we'd be having rain EVERY day!
It's quite a common old wives tale, but I'm afraid it's not true.
Cows tend to 'do' things together. They like to feed at the same time and they like to lie down together.
However, Cows are much more likely to lie down when it is warm and sunny, so I wonder with the UK climate if it was a joke way of saying it's not raining now, so it soon will be!!!
my bf actually taught me that and in Arkansas USA it is true because it has been proven so many times. When the humidity in the atmosphere hits a certain level the cows will lay down on the ground because its moist and cool keeps them cool too. The rain however may come in our area or may not but its said that there is a likelier chance if you see the cows layin down.
They lie down and keep the grass dry under them.my grandma told me that years ago.and if it does rain they are on dry grass.
