Cow rescue

Fire-fighters in England have rescued a cow that fell ten feet down a well.

The one-year-old bovine landed in the muddy water at the bottom of the well without severe injury, and was rescued by a total of 11 experts.

Adam Martin, a rural safety officer and crew manager from Wiltshire, said: "The cow was in an extremely confined space and would have been very frightened by what had happened, so the challenge was to get her sedated and then lifted free.

"The water was drained from the well, which allowed the vet access to carry out sedation."
The cow is now believed to be recovering well.
