08/18/2026: This morning, the Brownsville Fire Department responded to reports of a farm animal, trapped in a ditch. upon arrival, crews discovered an adult cow sunken neck-deep in mud at the bottom of a ditch.

Thankfully, personnel on scene have trained in how to handle this exact situation. Mud was dug out to pass straps through bottom side of the cow, Head of cow was protected with a life jacket, and a piercing nozzle was used to push water under the cow and reduce the suction effect of the mud. The cow was freed and lifted to safety at the top of the ditch.

Securing the newly freed cow was a bit of a challenge. Luckily, the boys had the lasso on standby! 😂

overall, tremendous work by a solid group of individuals ready to answer any call for help. ❤️🐄
