Do cows face into wind when eating?

I recall being told that cows face into wind (or was it OUT of wind) when eating and that you could use them as a windsock when carrying out a forced landing. Something to do with watching out for predators. Is this true or false? If true, is it valid for all cows worldwide?
I've just seen a 50-50 split here in the village.
Does it apply just to cows or to sheep as well?

Shortstripper. Any ideas about the cows on your farm?
