Crews rescue cow stuck in concrete culvert

Thanks to a specialty rescue crew and some beefy equipment, Violet the cow is no longer stuck livestock.

The brown-and-white bovine, who had wandered away from her owners' Jamul home overnight, got spooked, bolted and slipped into a concrete culvert when a highway patrol officer approached her alongside state Route 94.



It took a volunteer crisis team that works with the San Diego Humane Society about two hours to hook the roughly 1,700-pound cow and haul her out of the ditch with a crane.

A veterinarian then looked her over and determined that she was unscathed by her misadventure.
