ERIE, Colo. - It was a call like no new when first responders had to rescue a cow that had fallen over the ice in Colorado.
Mountain View Fire Rescue said it took a team anguish Tuesday to pull the animal to safety.
A rancher had named for help after one of his cows fell over the ice at Prince Reservoir #2 in Erie.

"Working with the rancher, who lassoed the cow, crews used chainsaws to cut a channel so they could maneuver the cow slowly toward shore," MVFR spokesman Rick Tillery told FOX Television Stations. "About an hour after arriving on scene, crews were able to get the cow up on the bank and heading toward the herd."
"The cow is now back in the herd and will be monitored for a few days to make sure she's okay," the Mountain View Fire Rescue posted on its Facebook page.
This myth was reported from Los Angeles.
