Cow tipping just got crazier!

Cattle trucks are extremely cramped and not the most comfortable place to be in, so when a trailer full of unsuspecting cows flipped over in Russia, we were in awe over how unsafe the big wheelers truly are.

In the video (above), the truck is seen falling over and then sending the poor cows on a giant slide… but the crazy thing is, they quickly bounced back from their topple!!

Ch-ch-check out the cray video, and don't be surprised if you scream HOLY COW!

Bilbo Baggins is come early!

Hobbit, a baby Tikin is rumbling around the Highland Wildlife Park and he just look too fabulous!

The young'un is still pretty small compared to his mama Cava and his siblings but he'll grow in a BIG strong man!

Found mostly in Southeast Asia, these Asian cattle are tough and their only predators include tigers, leopards, and bears (oh my?).

Now, the happy family in the England zoo just got happier and bigger!

My, what big horns you will have!

A newborn Texas longhorn is prancing about at the Queens Zoo. The energetic calf was born at 60 pounds to mama Joan in early May.

A staple in the Southwest, longhorns' horns can be as wide a 6 FEET from tip to tip.

Reminds us to not to get into a fight with this guy!

Congrats to new mommy Joan and the Queens zoo!

Sad….

A Wisconsin dairy farm went up in flames, causing the hundreds of cows trapped inside to perish. Firefighters had a tough time fighting the fire as well trying to save the nearly 1000 cows inside the barn.

75 cows were killed while 200 and 300 may be euthanized due to severe smoke inhalation and injury.

Each cow is worth $2,000 while the barn, which was under construction, is worth an estimated $3 million.

Poor cows…

In Texas, almost an entire heard of cattle died for an unknown reason.

It was just found out that the die-off was linked to genetically modified grass.

Apparently 15 of 18 animals on an 80-acre ranch began making all kinds of noise

Wildfires have been ravaging the Blackfeet Indian Reservation in Montana and have damaged about 18,000 acres of land.

It is estimated that about 1,200 horses and cattle are without much feed, if any at all.

The land will obviously take months to recover from the fire, but feed will be even more scarce as new babies are born.

This is where the ASPCA stepped in with a generous donation of $15,000.

Move over Milo and Otis!

The farm has some new best friends 4 Evsies.

Cows have best friends and become stressed if they are separated, according to research.

In the study cattle were penned on their own, with their best friend or with another cow they did not know for 30 minutes and their heart rates were measured at 15-second intervals.

The research showed cows were very social animals which often formed close bonds with friends in their herd.

Krista McLennan, who made the discovery while working on her PhD at Northampton University, said:

'If we can encourage farmers to keep an eye out for those cows which like to keep their friends with them, it could have some real benefits, such as improving their milk yields and reducing stress for the animals, which is very important for their welfare."

So it turns out happy cows do make happy cheese!

Question: when a cow gets dumped does her bff bring over ice cream? Somehow we don't think so.
