A cow got rescued from an, um, sticky situation in Florida over the weekend.

Actually, a better word is dirty.

According to a Facebook post from the Seminole County Sheriff’s Office, the animal got stuck in the mud on Saturday in the small town of Geneva.

Its three-week-old calf was nearby, in distress.

The crew held a “bovine intervention,” said the post, which showed pictures of how it was extracted from the ditch by a team of first responders.

At one point, the cow is surrounded by at least seven men, who pulled out the animal with the help of a front-end loader.

Another snap after the ordeal shows mom resting on a tarp.

“It was an udderly incredible rescue!” concluded the post.
