On hills, in the trees, in barns or sheds, in the grass or dirt, etc. Most cattle love to sleep on hills because they can easily see predators approaching from below.

When does a cow sleep?

There is no specific time that cattle go to sleep or to bed or whatever. They sleep whenever and whatever time they please: it can be anytime during the day or night, at 2 o'clock in the afternoon or just after sunset. And they don't sleep all night either: just for a couple of hours, then they're back out grazing or eating at the trough again.


Do cows lie down to sleep?

They don't. This is a myth. Cattle will just keep on grazing or head for shelter when it rains. Most cattle don't give a hoot whether they get wet or not. If it's a light rain, they'll just keep grazing. If it's a heavy downpour or a cold rain that chills you right to the bone, then they will head for shelter (a grove of trees, a barn or a shed) and bunch up together to keep warm. An experienced cattle producer will tell you that it's not true that cattle will lay down when it's going to rain or even when it does rain. And even an animal scientist can tell you that cattle don't have this barometric-pressure sensing thing that makes them "have to" lay down right before it rains. The only time cattle will lay down, even when it's all together, is when they're chewing the cud or need a time to rest. Cattle are herd animals, and do anything together, from eating to sleeping to even mating.
