FIREFIGHTERS were called out after two heifers fell down a 15ft sewer shaft on a farm. Vandals had lifted heavy concrete slabs from the shaft on the canal bank at Dill Hall Farm, Church, leaving it open.
One of the nine-month-old heifers was already dead when the fire crew arrived, but the other was alive, wedged at the bottom of the shaft.
Firemen used slings to haul out the badly hurt and shocked animal.
