My parents used to tell me that cows on hills had shorter legs on one side so that they could stand up straight. Cows born on the opposite side of the hill would have shorter legs on the other side of their body. I remember thinking that the cows on one side of the hill could just walk around to the other side, but then they would be facing the wrong way and you could tell they really belonged on the other side.
