Firefighters have been called out to a field in Northamptonshire after a cow got its head stuck in a chair.

Officers from the Mounts and Wellingborough branch of the Northamptonshire Fire Service were alerted at around 8am on Friday morning to a cow who had its head wedged in the arm of a green garden chair, near Boughton.

The force explained in a tweet that the cow was able to free itself from the seat without any help from a firefighter.

The details surrounding how the chair appeared in a field, or how the cow became stuck, remain unclear.

Amused Twitter users who saw the fire service’s tweet about the incident couldn’t resist responding with a wave of puns and jokes.
