Driving along with Mom and Granny, Brynn’s ever-active eyes spotted what appeared to be a fallen cow in one of the roadside paddocks in Ngatiawa Road. We followed up the sighting with a quick trip back to the site to investigate from closer up.
It was certainly a cow, lying on its side in a mud-pool. A cow certainly in extreme distress, by the looks of things virtually motionless and probably beyond help.
(Above): The white cow with black markings lies between the tufts of grass in a virtual bog, quite obviously quite weak, and unable to move. Not a nice sight.

Being unsure of the location of the owner of the creature, we posted an urgent notice on the Google-Reikorangi-Group to alert all subscribers in the valley, with someone possibly being able to assist and alert the owner as soon as possible.
