I have noticed that flocks of seagulls on the beach usually face into the

imagine that streamlining does not have much to do with a cow, but the
other part might apply.

I was thinking more about keeping the olfactory intake upwind and the
exhaust port downwind, but maybe cows aren't as sensitive to their own
odoriferous characteristics as humans are.
