Young cow rescued after getting big head stuck in tree

A cow had to be rescued by firefighters after lodging its head into the trunk of a tree.

Wallingford Fire Station in Oxfordshire saved the entangled cow after worried passerbys called to help the animal.

Oxfordshire Fire and Rescue Service said: ‘The crew from Wallingford Fire Station had an early morning call out to a cow stuck in a tree!

‘Supported by the farmers and our specialist animal rescue colleagues from Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service we were able to release the cow swiftly and uninjured.’

The bovine seemed unfased by its hours spent lodged in a tree trunk, and wandered off into the meadow afterwards.

But the cow will certainly remember its experience – cows are quite intelligent animals who can remember things for a while, animal behaviourists discovered.

Cows even have best friends – and get upset when they’re apart from each other for too long.

Another cow got into a similar predicament in 2022, forcing firefighters to help release the animal.

Photos reveal the front and rear of the cow trapped, with the cow looking like it is questioning the choices which led to the incident.

The animals are so cute that cow therapy has also taken off – with one Metro reporter heading to a farm to spend a day with the animals.
