Fire crews descended on a Herefordshire field last week after a large animal had become trapped in flood water.

Much of the county's fields was consumed by murky flood water last week, as the vicious weather took hold, which left one animal stuck in a flooded field.

Fire and rescue crews descended on the scene at Lugwardine Bridge at 2.15 pm on October 19, to rescue a sheep from the flooded field.
