QUEEN ANNE'S & WORCESTER CO., MD - Emergency officials responded to cow rescues in two separate Maryland counties over the weekend. 

The Stockton Volunteer Fire Company says on Saturday, April 12th, they responded around 10:00am to a home on Klej Grange Road for the report of a cow in distress. Fire officials say the cow had accidentally made its way into an in-ground swimming pool on the property.

Pocomoke City and Girdletree Volunteer Fire Companies assisted in getting the cattle out of the pool. The Stockton VFD says it was safely and successfully removed. 

Over 90 miles up north, the Queen Anne's County Office of the Sheriff says they themselves got an unusual call. Around 4:30am on Sunday, deputies from the office responded to the area of Bennett Point Road and Governors Way in Grasonville for the report of a cow wandering around.
