Pregnant Cow Named Lucky Rescued From Well

Firefighters in Boulder County, Colorado, rescued a pregnant cow named Lucky, who fell into a well. Lucky was grazing in a field Friday afternoon when she walked onto a wooden platform covering a well. The 1,200- to 1,500-pound cow was too heavy for the structure and fell through. Firefighters, animal control officers and neighbors showed up on the scene at 3:30 p.m. One neighbor climbed down into the well to calm the cow after calling someone who owned a crane. Firefighters attached a fire hose to the crane to lift the animal out of the well. Witnesses said Lucky was very calm as she was hoisted out of the well. A veterinarian examined Lucky afterward and said the cow is doing fine.
