Friends spot giant cow drowning in the middle of deep lake and jump into action to save it!

It’s normal for cattle to wander off from the herd and end up someplace they shouldn’t be.
But some of them wander to places you’d never expect, and getting them back can be a huge ordeal.
No one knows how or why this cow ended up so deep in the middle of a lake.

A cow can weigh 720 kilograms on average. That’s a lot of animal to try and help out of the water.
Bessie is no water buffalo, so these people needed to work quickly.

This cow ended up in a lake with no way back to shore.

These friends happened to catch the eye of the stranded bovine and began to help.
The plan was to escort the cow back to shore before she drowned.
It sounds simple until you try it.

It became clear they had their work cut out for them. Still, this cow’s life was on the line, and they would help it.

Here was the plan: get a rope around the cow’s neck and use it to guide her to shore from the boat.

When they gave it a shot, they realized the rope made it harder for the cow to lift her head above the surface.
Okay, new plan: one gets in the water and swims beside the cow, manually holding her head above the water.
So one of their friends dove into the lake and supported the poor cow’s head. It seemed to be working!
