Fire and Rescue, university campus security, and NSW Police mounted a second effort to free the same cow, which was stuck up to its stomach in mud.
Firefighters fashioned a 38mm fire hose into a lasso to ease the cow out of the dam and into the care of university staff.
Unable to stand after its ordeal, crews remained with the cow until it recovered.
It remains in the care of the university – away from the dam.
