Cattle struggle to keep afloat after field is flooded
12:39 p.m. Monday, May 7, 2007
The sound of the cows bellowing as they struggled to keep their heads above water was loud and horrifying.
Cows were stranded out in a field in Jefferson County when suddenly the ground gave way.
The cows are even tried to climb on top of each other to stay alive.
They were eventually able to make it to higher ground, where they were safe.
The farmer who owned them said he was very relieved because they were valued at $35,000 dollars.
It is unknown if any of the cows drowned.
Three residents in the Grantville area voluntarily evacuated themselves to higher ground because of the threat of flood waters, said Doug Schmitt, Jefferson County Emergency Management director. Read more about that story here.
