Cows lying down in a pasture are often referred to as "resting" or "lying down." This behavior is typical, as cows need to rest and ruminate after eating. It's also a common misconception that cows lying down indicate rain; while they may seek shelter during inclement weather, their position is primarily for comfort and digestion.

What do the cows do when they are not being milked and are they able to roam around or lay down comfortably If they like?
Actually this really depends on the dairy operation! Some dairies have cows that are allowed to roam around AND lay down comfortably if they wanted, other dairies have cows where they just stay in stanchions that are wide enough for them to lay down comfortably whenever they wanted. I've never heard of a dairy operation where they didn't have anything that allowed cows to lay down when they wanted. Maybe not so much roam around, though there's a large number of dairies have milking facilities where cows simply walk in, get milked, then walk out again to their corrals in the barn or under a shed or out to pasture if it's summer. But basically, when they're not being milked they're eating, sleeping or laying/standing around chewing cud and socializing with other cows they're in the barn or pasture with.

Where do farmers leave their cows overnight?
Cows mostly stay in fenced in pastures or meadows where they roam and graze. They sleep or bed down under trees within the pasture or meadow. However, if the farmer runs a milk cow farm, usually those cows are kept in milking barns. Smaller farms bring their milking cows in from the pasture to milk, but let them roam during the day. When closer to the person's home, cows can be kept in corrals-- fenced in smaller areas, usually right outside the barn.
