DRAMATIC pictures show the moment a bull was pulled to safety by a team of firefighters and Bromsgrove vets after becoming stuck in mud.

On August 15, just before 2:30 pm, a 900kg bull managed to become submerged in a pool on a farm in Kings Norton and was lodged in mud which reached three-quarters of the way up its body.

“A local farmer had brought along his telehandler and the bull was pulled from the mud onto a large glide board so he could slide across the ground to a secure pen that had been supplied by the Meadow Farm vets.
