Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service once again proved that it’s not just fires, they tackle!
Crews from Ross-on-Wye and the large animal rescue team from Bromyard were called to the river this afternoon after a cow had become stuck in the mud.
A spokesperson for Bromyard Fire Station (Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service) said:
“A fire crew from Ross-on-Wye and the Large Animal Rescue Team from Bromyard were called to an incident this afternoon to rescue a cow that had become trapped in the mud on the edge of the river.
“All jobs are different and present different challenges, and this was one of those jobs. The cow was stuck up to her waist in mud and crews had to enter the water so that they could fit strops around the cow and then using the farmers equipment she was pulled on to a large guild board which enabled teams to slide her up the embankment to a place of safety.
“Joel Galloway from Belmont Farm & Equine Vets was on seen to look after her welfare during the rescue. Great teamwork from all that were involved saw the successful rescue and she was able to return to the herd.
