No one knows what this bullock was actually looking for when he got his head tightly wedged in a tree.

But it must be nice - the young herbivore is actually the second beast to get his head stuck in the same tree at Trelissick House in Truro, Cornwall.

It took staff at the National Trust property two hours to chisel away at the tree and release the animal.

Craig Hardman, 28, who helped free the beast, said: ‘The bullock wasn’t distressed, he was fine.

‘We don’t know why he put his head in there, but another cow has been back to the same spot so there must be some nutrient in there that they like.

‘The second cow also got stuck but was freed easily as we had already widened the hole the first time around.’
