Thu, 12 Jul 2018

Fire crews were called out to rescue a cow that had fallen into a slurry pit.

A team from Douglas Station was asked to attend a farm in the Mount Rule area yesterday morning.

Crews had to secure two halters and a length of rope to the young heifer before pulling her from the slurry using the farmer's tractor.

Firefighters spent around one hour at the scene.
