Dairy songs and dances
"Nice moves: Agent Friesan (Andrew Kaye) and Agent Jersey (Rachel Nicholls) support Rosie, the Kiwi-cross cow, in the children's show Rosie's Fantastic Tour at the National Fieldays. DairyNZ's cow mascot Rosie is busting some 'mooves' at National Fieldays, entertaining young children and adults alike with dairy songs and dances. Rosie is the dairy industry's ambassador or 'cowbassador', teaching young people about dairy farming. She is flanked at Fieldays by VIBs - Very Important Bovine protection squad members - people dressed in black suits in the style of special agents. There's Agent Friesan, her right-hand man, and Agent Jersey, a young woman whose outfit is complimented by striking red gumboots. At Fieldays, part of Rosie's role is to give children a "high-hoof" - the cow costume equivalent of a high-five - and a hug, Agent Friesan said."
I kid you not. This article is taken, verbatim, from the rural Farmer newspaper.

Careful RG, you will upset anon like you did mr duck....... : )
I'm still crying from his frivolous comments. Sniff
Surely not, you jest, this can't be real, we live in NZ not Kansas!!
Towack - I feel your pain. Here's a virtual shoulder for you.
I wish, Shunda, that this was an intentional joke.
Seems not.
Most sinister; the Bovine Protection Squad, dressed in black; he a 'right-hand man' and she 'a young woman whose outfit...'
But Shunda, there are dairy songs and dances. Your young'uns would love it!
I'm happy to share virtual tissues with you Towack...the nice soft ones :)
First Iron Brion and now this!!

Good initiative. I am sure the dairy industry needs succession too.
Towack,
Which anonymous are you referring too? I hope that question doesn't upset you.
Why don't the actors in the cow suit get named in the article?
That's going to be a nightmare to prove on the CV later.
"oh yah, and people were talking about my rear-end-of-a-cow for weeks. Redolent of Larry Olivier, they said"
TNA - worse would be to be the ass of an ass.
