There was a time when people could sense when it's going to rain. On those days, they too would probably gather together. Modern man has the weather channel, rain gear, and SUV's. Cows typically have shelter and food provided for them, but they still rely on their senses and instincts much more than we do. Their senses tell them it's going to rain, they probably smell it and can feel the change in the air. Change in weather can bring hazardous winds and hard rain. There's safety in numbers. Cows gather together before a rain to protect their young and provide safty to the herd. I hope this acknowledges your theory. Janet Hoff Research Associate Licensed Veterinary Technician
