Subject: Scottish SPCA helps bull remove head from ladder

An animal charity has rescued a bullock in South Ayrshire which got its head stuck in a ladder.
Members of the public called the Scottish SPCA after spotting the bewildered beast in a field beside the Troon to Barassie road last month.
An inspector contacted the farmer who owned the Belgian Blue bullock and helped return it to the herd unharmed.
The farmer, who recently took on the lease to the land, said he had no idea how the ladder ended up in the field.
'Surprisingly calm'
Scottish SPCA Inspector Kerry Kirkpatrick contacted the farmer after being alerted to the animal's plight.
He said: "When the job came through my first thought was, this is a wind up, but I arrived at the field to find the cow looking confused but surprisingly calm despite having his head wedged tightly in between the rungs of the ladder.
"The farmer's family rounded up the whole herd into a holding pen and we managed to gently pull the ladder off the cow's head.
"The farmer had no idea how the ladder ended up in his field as he only recently took on the lease for the land. It may have been used to patch up a hole in the fence or it could have fallen off a passing van or lorry. Either way, it's a rescue I won't forget in a while."

While the farmer wonders how the ladder got there, I'm wondering what could have gotten the bull to get it's head stuck

Wonder if it's related to a bull that fell into the river twice in the same week.
