My friend Mike pointed me to this story, where a pair of scientists from Universität Duisburg-Essen found that in general, when cattle stood in a field, "60 percent to 70 percent of cattle were oriented north-south". This is corroborated by a random Wisconsin farmer.
Interesting, although it's not clear what's going on.
I see a couple of possibilities here.
1. This is a form of cow psyops, and they're faking it. Think about it: you're a cow; how do you fight the humans? You could bull-rush and gore a farmer somewhere -- great, but the rest of your herd gets mown down by bullets within the hour. Maybe your best chance is to try to give mankind mad cow disease, but for that you have to eat other cows; not a pretty sight. Maybe your best bet is to affect some odd behavioral patterns and distract the human scientists.
2. This is real; cows really can detect and act on magnetic fields, for some unknown but presumably nefarious purpose. That figure of 60-70% is interesting; high enough to prove non-random behavior, but low enough not to be suspicious to casual observers.
By the way, check out the zoology department at the Universität Duisburg-Essen. Looks like everyone there is into studying Zambian mole-rats (which apparently have their own subterranean magnetic-field homing capability). Not sure why they are such a popular research topic ... hopefully we won't have an onslaught of Zambian mole-rat posts in the future.

I was wondering if perhaps there was meaning in the particular arrangement of those 60-70%.
It is possible they are sending a message.
It is also possible, although much less likely, that they are somehow creating a resonant field as part of a giant bovine magento-transistor complex.
Re: message -- I was also thinking they might be trying to spell something out; wouldn't surprise me if the frequency of line segments in the Latin alphabet works out to 60-70%. Certainly it does for "FU" ... but the scientists probably would have noticed that.
I like your magnetic field theory.
