Steel yourself - it's a live sex show
13 June 2006
By CHRIS GARDNER
A steel cow will be coupled with bulls in a series of live sex shows at the National Fieldays, which open tomorrow.
Cattle breeding specialist Ambreed New Zealand Ltd is demonstrating this revolutionary way of collecting semen, using a mobile sex toy for bulls, at Mystery Creek at 11am, 1pm and 3pm each day.
The steel cow was constructed by Hautapu Welders using specifications from Europe.
Ambreed chief executive Graham Bowen said farmers often asked how semen was collected from bulls. Usually technicians deflected bulls during the natural mating process, collecting the sample in a tube. With the new method technicians collected the sample from inside the cow.
"We have had a couple of people ringing up and saying that's disgusting and really not necessary, but a lot of people are agriculturally minded and quite interested," he said.
The theme of the premier exhibit this year is The Business of Breeding, showcasing New Zealand as a world leader in animal and plant breeding innovations.
Fieldays wouldn't be the same without the range of competitions, such as the Rural Bachelor and Ag Art Wear Awards. The Sonic Arts Challenge has been added this year, with entrants performing music from agricultural products or by-products. Punters will get the chance to bid for a day with rugby legend Colin Meads during a 1pm auction on Friday in aid of IHC. Balance Agri-Nutrients paid $6500 last year.
A trio of Wanganui Aero Work's Cresco planes will stage an aerial display over the Waikato River on Friday afternoon before landing at the site.
Alan Deed, president of the Waikato branch of the Moteliers' Association of New Zealand, said there was no room left in Hamilton's motels and the nearest places with vacancies were Rotorua and Tauranga.
Mr Deed, who runs Tudor Lodge Motel in Thackeray St, said he had been turning away between 50 and 100 people a day in recent days.
After windy weather for the Fieldays set-up, in which a handful of tents were flattened, the MetService's weather ambassador, Bob McDavitt, warned people to wear their gumboots and carry brollies. Fieldays kicks off at 8.30am with the Waikato Draught/Wiremark fencing events and closes Saturday afternoon.
