So.

I was wrong again.

The cow appearing with Jim and Joe Oberweis on a television set near you in January did not come all the way from Wisconsin.

She lives in Hampshire at the Conro Family’s Sunset Acres Farm, according to the Aurora Beacon-News by way of the Naperville Sun.

C-Factor of Chicago advertising agency employee Toby Smalley wrote me,

"The cow's name was Bridget. She is 5 years old and her grandmother was one of the original Oberweis logo cows."

Smalley also sent the top photo of son Nick Conro's and, I assume, his sister Cheri's handling Bridget.

From the blue plastic on the floor of Aurora University's library, you might think that someone doesn't trust Bridget to mind her business while being "interviewed" for her job. Aurora University's Media Relations man Al Benson sent the lower photo.

Nick's sister attends Aurora University.
