Cyclone Gabrielle: Holy Cow! Incredible Moment Herd of Cows Swim to Safety in Flood Waters | NZ Herald

Incredible footage has captured the moment a herd of cows managed to swim to safety after their paddock was dramatically flooded.

More than 20 cows on a farm in Waipawa, Hawke’s Bay faced potential death when flash floods and rising waters completely swamped their paddock on Tuesday.

With water up to their necks, the cows were at severe risk of being swept down the river and drowning.

However, as a herd, they managed to swim over 500 meters to safety.
