Weather Cows

The changes in the behavior of cattle are caused by the drop of pressure before a storm.

Storms

  • Cows may refuse to graze when they sense an approaching storm.
  • Cows bunch together and move from hills into sheltered valleys.
  • If they sense the storm to be a short one, they will huddle under trees.
  • If a cow slaps its cow against a tree, bad weather is approaching.

Rain

  • If in the morning cows lie down, it will rain before nightfall.
  • When cattle stand with their backs to the wind, rain is coming.
  • If cows refuse going to the pasture in the morning, it will rain before nightfall.
  • If a bull leads the cows to the pasture, anticipate rain.
  • If a cow's tail is being carried upright, rain is approaching.

Earthquake

  • The best known sign of an earthquake is extreme restlessness on the part of domestic animals, especially cattle.
