A bizarre video has captured the moment a cow had to be hoisted out of a narrow sinkhole by it's back legs after falling in while taking a closer look.
Workers at Witton Castle, Bishop Auckland, were going about their day as usual when they received a call for help from a local farmer after one of his fields had developed a sink hole.
The farmer didn't know when the sinkhole developed as he didn't discover it until one of his cows had gotten curious about the circle in the grass, near to where two fences met, and wondered over to investigate it.

Unfortunately, the fell down it head first, depite it seeming small from the outside, and the entire full grown cow vanished below.
It took a team of four men and a tractor to rescue it.
A video shows them working together, straps running down into the deep hole, as they carefully coordinate the tractor into place.
In the footage, the three men motion for the tractor driver to come slightly closer to the hole as the winch begins to work, and the straps are reeled in.
Shockingly, a pair of trussed up hooves appear first out of the hole.
The legs lead out of the hole as the cow’s back catches on the lip of the hole, but it continues to be lifted to freedom.
The huge animal is far bigger than the men and slowly lifted out of the hole by the tractor, before the driver slowly reverses, getting most of the animal free of the sinkhole.

When free, the cow looks worryingly lifeless as it dangles there and is gently lifted across the grass, and set down.
But then, just as it’s being laid down, the cow rears into life.
The team of men quickly free it from the strappings that they used to lift it free.
The cow then rises, slightly unsteady on its feat and returns to the herd.
