April 4 (UPI) -- Firefighters in Florida came to the rescue of a cow stuck up to its neck in deep mud for nearly 24 hours.

The Seminole County Fire Department said multiple crews responded alongside the Seminole County Sheriff's Office when a report came in of a cow that had been stuck in deep mud for an entire day.

The department said in a Facebook post that the responding crews had "specialized training in large farm animal rescues."

Firefighter Gavin Schmidt, dubbed the "cow whisperer" by the department, bottle-fed water to the cow to keep it hydrated during the rescue.
