Cows lie down to chew the cud - they have to, they have 4 stomachs, boring and prosaic I know but true.
Have you thought were the saying came from, 'cos if it's English then that's no surprise given that one of the sayings in Yorkshire (where I came from) was,'If you can see the Pennines (a range of hills) it's going to rain, if you can't - it's raining'.
Sheep lie down also, they live outside but we never say anything about sheep.

sheep are ruminants too.
Enjoy when you can and endure when you must.

Cows/Weather
Actually, the saying is:
Red sky at night - sailor's delight,
Red sky at morn - Sailor's take warnin'.
Cows know nothing about weather, they are simply reacting to the barometric pressure - the same as we all do, if we'd pay attention.

never heard of this before but anything is possible
Actually, I've always heard all the animals know when it's about to rain. I believe it has something to do with their bodies feeling the changes in the barometric pressure, the humidity, and the increase in wind before a storm. I know I can often smell the rain before it actually falls. Have you ever noticed how the birds huddle in a tree and stop singing just before a storm? They know, too.
Another interesting thing about animals and weather: I've always had cats and am more accurate than the weather man in predicting when winter's over. The cats always shed their winter coat after the last cold front and never before. Sometimes we have a hot spell and they still have their coats. That always means there will still be at least one more cold spell.
