These images capture the moment firefighters were called in to free a cow which got stuck in a tree.
Fire crews had to use a crane to lift the animal to safety after getting its head stuck in the trunk of a tree on farmland in Northallerton, North Yorkshire.
A vet also joined the full-scale operation to save the heifer. He was on hand to sedate the cow so it could be lifted to safety while a fire crew used farming machinery and hydraulic spreaders to pull the beast out.
