Firefighters to the rescue after cow gets stuck on riverbank
Firefighters were called to assist at a Shropshire riverbank after a cow decided to go for a swim.
The bathing bovine ran into difficulty when it was unable to get up the riverbank.
The Shropshire Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) said fire crews from Shrewsbury and Wellington attended along with the cow's owner and a vet.
Posting pictures of the rescue, a spokesperson for SFRS said: “A rescue with a difference today. A cow had found itself in a difficult situation stranded on a riverbank after taking a swim.
“Specialist boat and animal rescue teams were called from Shrewsbury and Wellington and were supported by the owner and vet.”
