It's my understanding that modern cows are bred to have rubber tipped horns 
that secrete a methane absorbent jelly. As the cows walk along the cow 
trails they absorbe the gas produced by the bovine ahead, thus reduceing 
the negative effect of cows on the ozone and conditioning them for the 
inevitable death ahead. There is a relatively small danger to modern cows 
during lightning storms but they'll take their chances to do their part.
