Animal Rescue Southern Uplands

Kelso

Specialist fire crews were called out to a farm near Kelso following an 11-hour operation to free a heifer that had fallen into a hidden underground Victorian icehouse. Using equipment from various rescue services and the assistance of local staff, teams managed to create enough space for the animal to climb out safely.

Outcome: The heifer was successfully rescued and is reported to be unharmed.

Support the team who responded. They turn out unpaid, in all weather — every team is a volunteer-run charity.
