Fire crews rescued a farm animal from a ditch.

They responded to a call just before 9am on Thursday of a calf stuck in a water-filled ditch at Hollow Road in Washbrook, outside of Ipswich.

Six engines attended but two were stood down. 

Two regular engines and two Unimogs were on the scene.

Unimogs are special engines that are designed to access difficult terrains.

Crews rescued the calf from the ditch using the Unimog winch and the incident was resolved just before 11am.
