Firefighters have been busy at work, this time trying to remove a cow’s head which became stuck in a tree.

A cow is seen with its head lodged in the fork of a willow tree in the village of Chilbolton, England, on Aug. 31.

A crew from Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service (HIWFRS) spent more than an hour trying to free the cow, which got its head stuck in a tree on Chilbolton Common, Hampshire, on Wednesday evening.

Crews received the call at 7.40pm and worked with an animal rescue adviser to cut the tree and free the cow by 11pm.

‘The animal rescue crew from Winchester worked to release the cow by enlarging the hole and manipulating the animal’s head until it was free from the tree.’

The fire service were quick to make some cow related jokes on their Twitter page, describing the rescue as ‘udderly ridiculous’.

It added: ‘The crew worked to re-moove the animal from the willow tree [on Wednesday] evening.’

Cows have been known for their unusual behaviour in the past and in 2014, a cow was spotted chilling on a roof in Switzerland.

A stunned cyclist spotted the farm animal on the slippery slate roof near the Swiss capital of Bern.

After breaking a few tiles in the process, the cow eventually managed to find her way back to the grassy fields.
