Firefighters were called to a farm in West Yorkshire after a cow got stuck down a sinkhole.
Writing on its Facebook page, West Yorkshire Fire and Rescue Service said the animal had reached an "inescapabull position".
A specialist technical rescue team was called to the Norwood Green area, near Bradford, to help with the re-moo-val.
