Fire crews from Hereford & Worcester Fire and Rescue Service took part in a miraculous effort to rescue a Hereford Bull from the River Teme on Tuesday.
A spokesperson for Bromyard Fire Station said:
“A great Team effort this afternoon saw the successful rescue of a Herefordshire Bull from the River Teme.
“Two Bulls slipped down the embankment and into the deep water. The owner was able to rescue one of them himself but the other proved to be a lot more difficult on the far bank and no access to it.
“The Animal Rescue team from Bromyard along with a water first responder team from Malvern and a boat crew from Evesham were sent to the incident.
“Belmont Farm & Equine Vets were on scene to ensure the welfare of the Bull was maintained during the rescue.
The Bull weighed 1.1 tonnes and he was assisted down river using the boat to a safe place where it could stand.
“The Bull was then able to walk to the side and out of the river. A short walk back to the farm buildings where the vet was able to give him a full check over. He was uninjured and will soon be back out in the field.”
