She plunged into the sludge in Chester, Cheshire, yesterday (26 Aug).
Two fire crews raced to the scene and used specialist equipment to free the stricken beast, as reported by Need To Know.
A spokesperson for Cheshire Fire and Rescue Service said: “Firefighters worked alongside the farmer, who provided machinery to assist with the rescue, and a vet who monitored the cow’s welfare throughout.
“Specialist animal rescue-trained firefighters secured the cow’s head above the surface and developed a safe rescue plan to cause minimal distress.
“Using specialist animal straps and lines, firefighters successfully rescued the cow and moved it to dry land.
“The vet and farmer assessed the cow’s condition post-rescue, while fire crews carried out decontamination and packed away equipment.
“Thanks to the coordinated efforts of all involved and the cow’s calm and cooperative nature, the rescue was a success.
“Our crews said it was clear the cow would never have escaped without help, and the teamwork of everyone on scene made all the difference.”
