Fire fighters in Devon struggled for four hours to rescue a bullock which had become trapped in a bog. A fire appliance from Holsworthy and a specialist rescue team from Barnstaple were mobilised to a farm in Pancrasweek after a call from the farmer around 8.45pm on Sunday. The animal was trapped around three-quarters of a mile down a track with no vehicular access. In fading light and then darkness, strops were attached to the bullock which was pulled to safety by hand.
