What about in crosswinds? Do they have lower drag going backwards? How can we make cows more streamlined? Would golf ball dimples help?

Just put one into a boat-tail trailer, pipe it up and you have a replacement for HHO with the production of CH4

I took care of my crappy personal aero (much like the pic above) by encasing myself in a G1 Insight

I live in a cow rich area and mostly when the winds are high they stand with their back side in the wind, so perhaps we're looking at this from the wrong way?
