Last night close to sunset, I traveled...

Last night close to sunset, I traveled past a field of grazing cattle. To my surprise, all the cattle seemed to be facing the Sun. What is the explanation for this?
Answer
We looked deep in our cow books and found one possible answer. An old saying is, β€œWhen cattle stand with their backs to the wind, rain is coming.” Did it rain that night? If not, maybe the cows were just enjoying a beautiful sunset.
