Cows do not line up according to anything magnetic although while grazing a herd members do tend to head in the same direction. That direction is influenced by wind, precipitation and sun or total randomness.. Why not just ask someone like me who has spent much of her life in Wisconsin’s dairyland?

It's going to rain!"

And on different days they are in different patterns. It's an udderly ridiculous idea.
