North Yorkshire fire crews had to use a crane to lift the heifer to safety after getting its head stuck in the bow of a tree on farmland in Northallerton, North Yorkshire on Sunday.
Vets were on hand to sedate the cow so it could be lifted to safety while a fire crew used farming machinery and hydraulic spreaders to free the beast.
The farm owners had a nervy two hour wait for it to be freed - but the cow came round and survived the dramatic rescue unscathed.
North Yorkshire fire tweeted: '14:35 £Northallerton crew have attended a cow with its head stuck in a tree! Crew attempted to release cow using strops & farm machinery.
'Vet attended to sedate cow & crew used dewalt saw & chainsaw along with hand tools to release cow. £newcowtrend £poorcow'
