MONMOUTH, Ore. -- A cow stranded on ice experienced what might be called a moo-ving rescue. The Polk County Sheriff's Office received a report Friday about a cow that had ventured onto a frozen pond, fallen and couldn't get up. A sheriff's deputy, the cow's owner and a friend rushed to the rescue. The sheriff's office said the owner used some lassoing skills to get a rope around the cow from shore. The bovine was winched across the ice on its belly to shore, and it moseyed back to the barn.
