I would think that Winsor is closer to the facts.  As a former farm boy,

their hair/fur is laid back front to back and they can keep the trapped
insulating air barrier from being disturbed and stay warmer.

Yes, I also believe you and Winsor are closer to the real truth . . . having spent a fair amount of time around a relative's farm. Humans that haven't spent much time around farms and ranches usually want to be upwind of the cows though. :-)
