Cow-tipping: Myth or reality? Eddie GlennSo Patterson and Speth may be right.
But to add something like professional credibility to our research, we contacted an expert – a veterinarian. Unfortunately, Tahlequah vet Bill Elliott didn’t seem to take our cow-tipping research very seriously. We can’t vouch for the accuracy of the following quotes from Elliott. “Cow tipping? Yeah, we’ve gone out and found entire herds on their sides,” he said. “We try to put them back upright, pointing toward the north star if it’s nighttime, and toward the east during the day, so they can find their bearings. There are always empty beer cans around, but we can’t tell if they’ve been consumed by the cows or the people who tipped them.” Roger Williams is the OSU Extension educator for Cherokee County, and as such, he usually aware of any local bovine issues. Cow-tipping, he said, isn’t one of them. But it could be, he suggested, because of the breeding. “I think cows are smarter than they used to be, with hybrid breeds,” said Williams. “But I put cow-tipping right up there with snipe-hunting. Then again, if cows or horses do a good job for you, they deserve to be tipped, just like a waitress or anyone else should.”
