Fucking cows, how do they work?

So, you can actually use cows as a compass to a point.
Cows pretty consistently tend to align themselves on a north-south axis when resting. I don’t believe anyone has ever figured out why.

Compasses point north, not to any nearest magnet. If compasses pointed to any nearest magnet, they wouldn’t work as intended.

They do know why, its that cows have some directional sense based in electromagnetism like an actual compass. Cows that are near high voltage power lines dont align the same way as cows normally do. Their sense gets messed up by the strength of the electrical fields that surround high voltage lines
