A cow that was stuck in mud for nearly 24 hours was rescued by a group of local emergency personnel this week.
Crews from the Seminole County Fire Department and Seminole County Sheriff’s Office responded to calls for removal of an animal on Monday, April 3. According to authorities, a cow had become stuck in mud on a local property.
The female cow, who is a mother, was stuck in the mud for almost 24 hours when SCFD crews began their extrication.
Officials say that crews are specially trained in large farm animal rescues. An SCSO deputy used a backhoe to help clear the way and straps were positioned around the cow before it was safely extricated.
