Lost cow rescued twice in 24 hours after getting stuck in dam in western Sydney

A cow wandering around a mall had to be rescued for the second time.

The lost animal was first spotted in Sydney’s western shopping district of Caddens Corner on Tuesday night.

A NSW Fire and Rescue team was called to capture the cow, who worked alongside police to get her safely to a nearby paddock at Western Sydney University.

But his troubles didn’t end with the cattle being stuck in a dam overnight.

Fire and Rescue, university campus security and NSW Police made a second attempt to extricate the same cow, which was stuck in the mud up to its belly.

Firefighters lassoed a 38mm fire hose to get the cow out of the dam and into the care of university staff.

Unable to stand after her ordeal, crews stayed with the cow until she recovered.

It remains in the care of the university – off the dam.

The authorities are now trying to find the owner of the cow.
