According to the myth, cattle are slow-moving, slow-witted and weak-legged, and can easily be pushed over without much force, both because they have a high centre of gravity, and because they sleep standing. However, despite the widespread legend of tipping cows, numerous publications have debunked the practice's feasibility.
Cows are indeed rather top-heavy, but even considering this most of them, I have found are somewhat bow-legged. I think it's more myth than fact.
As a teenager I used to sneak up on my horse while she was sleeping and sometimes give her a gentle push. Always...always, she could catch herself and remain balanced. But almost always she'd lie down in her stall and I'd curl up and place my head where her hind leg curved into her stomach. A much preferable and kind thing to do with one of God's creatures. She rather liked it and would eventually drift off whilst watching me. She was always quite protective of me.
I tried 'tipping' my Jack Russell once. But he pointed out that he was unquestionably an all inclusive mutt!
