Firefighters rescued a cow trapped in deep mud in a Powys field late on Thursday night.

Crews from Machynlleth, Llanfair Caereinion and Welshpool fire stations were called to Cefn Coch at Welshpool at 10:57pm on May 7 after reports that the animal had become stuck.

Mid and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service said firefighters used specialist equipment, including strops and a slide mat, to safely free the cow from the mud.

The animal was successfully rescued and was soon back on its feet following the operation.

Crews remained at the scene for almost two hours before leaving at 12:39am.
