Fire fighters in Cumbria have been called in to free a cow after it became trapped upside down between two walls. A digger was used as a small crane in the bovine rescue mission.
The animal had been unsettled by a vehicle being used in the farmer's field. Barrow station manager Roger Exley, of Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service, said: "The cow had become quite anxious and decided to take after the farmer's vehicle...It approached quite a high-sided wall and fence, managed somehow to straddle that fence and ended up in a two-foot wide ditch - basically trapping itself upside down between two walls".
Farmer Dave Mutton said "A few hours later she was grazing away as normal. Cows are usually quite intelligent, but this one was a bit silly".
