Steel yourself - it's a live sex show

A steel cow will be coupled with bulls in a series of live sex shows.



Cattle breeding specialist Ambreed New Zealand Ltd is demonstrating this revolutionary way of collecting semen, using a mobile sex toy for bulls.

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.
