Eight days ago, a cow fell down from a wooden floor inside of a barn that caused the cow to be trapped in a cellar who needed to be rescued. The owner of the barn contacted the animal rescue team in Galax Virginia to ask them to rescue the cow who needed to be rescued. The animal rescue team then contacted the Galax Fire Department to assist them rescue the cow from the bottom of the barn. The firefighters of the Galax Fire Department then removed a section of the barn's roof so they could use a boom and straps to wrap it around the cow's waist and hoist it from the cellar to the ground floor. After a medical exam showed that despite the fall from the wooden floor to the cellar did not cause any injuries to the animal, the cow was allowed to go out to pasture with his fellow cows. What caused the wooden floor to collapse is like due to old age of the wooden floor or the cow gained weight to the point that the wooden floor inside of the barn could not support the weight of the cow,
