Despite having en-cow-ntered an error and sustaining swelling to her neck and jaw, which prevented the crew from simply guiding her head back out, the female farm animal remained calm throughout the 20-minute operation.

Following discussions with the farm manager, the Fire team unbolted the tanker from the trailer chassis, while farmhands put a telescopic handler in place to lift the tank.
Injuries and drama aside, once freed, the Fire crew reported: “The cow seemed otherwise unaffected by her ordeal and was just keen to get back to the rest of herd.” Good moos indeed.
