I would think that Winsor is closer to the facts. As a former farm boy,
cows (among many other animals) face into inclement wind and weather
because their exposed cross section is diminished and the fact that
their hair/fur is laid back front to back and they can keep the trapped
insulating air barrier from being disturbed and stay warmer.

Yes, I also believe you and Winsor are closer to the real truth . . .
having spent a fair amount of time around a relative's farm. Humans that
haven't spent much time around farms and ranches usually want to be upwind
of the cows though. :-)
