Bulls Get It On With Simulated Cows at Farmers' Fair

WELLINGTON (Reuters) - Live "sex shows" of bulls mounting a simulated cow have become a big attraction at an agricultural exhibition taking place in New Zealand.

The fake 'cow' — a small go-kart with natural cowhide on its roof — was developed by Ambreed New Zealand Ltd. to collect semen from bulls more safely and efficiently and improve artificial breeding of cows.

Woman hit by flying cow

June 19, 1956: "Sees Flying Cow." While walking, Janet Whittaker of Michigan looked up to see a cow flying at her. Apparently, "Bossy had been knocked off her feet by a car on a rural road." Whittaker was bruised. The cow, too. And the car suffered $300 in damage.
