[QUOTE="Jay Davis, post: 353289, member: 5692"] Never seen it myself either but obviously it does happen. If it were lightning, you might find she still had a mouthful of grass. We had a lightning storm last year that killed two cows 1/2 mi apart from each other and they were out in the open. Not a mark on them, but they were standing before the storm and on their sides after. Each had a big mouthful of that lush green spring grass that looked like it hadn't been chewed.. On the topic of cows not being able to roll over.... I'll take your word for it....BUT, I have seen a 3 month calf roll over. It wasn't easy. She rocked several times before she got enough momentum to flip. Still that may be because at 3 months their legs are still proportionally longer than a grown animal...maybe it gives them enough leverage. Either way it was an interesting sight to see. [/QUOTE]
