Those are fascinating sayings Cap'n. I hadn't heard them before.

Being of a more agricultural turn of mind I recall my Dad always swearing by. " If the cows are standing up, it'll be fine. If they are laying down, it'll rain." He was silent upon what it means when some are standing and some are lying! There is another bovine saying, "When a cow's tail points to the west, we'll get weather of the best. When a cow's tail points to the east, it'll be not fit for man nor beast."

I cannot prove this immediately as, although it is now raining, there isn't a cow in sight.

There's never a cow around when you need one!

Best wishes,
