Firefighters were called to a residence in Diamond Creek at 9.47am Sunday morning (31 March) to reports of a cow trapped in a dam.

Upon arrival they found Brodie stuck in the mud on the dam's bank.

The fireys secured Brodie on a rescue glide and moved her out of the mud and into a safer location with assistance from a brigade car's winch.

After some TLC Brodie regained her strength and was soon up and about enjoying a snack with her paddock mate.

The incident was deemed under control at 10.11am, with the rescue taking about an hour. Crews remained on scene until veterinary care arrived.
