Ram Rescued After Becoming Stuck in Concrete Pipe

Firefighters in Somerset, England, successfully rescued a 97-kilogram ram named Rambo after he became trapped in a concrete pipe.

Rambo had reportedly sought refuge in the pipe to escape a flock of nine ewes who were actively pursuing him. The incident occurred at Western Farm, owned by Bex Maynard.

Fire crews utilized chimney rods and ropes, along with a sheet, to maneuver and extract the ram from his confinement. He was freed unharmed on Sunday.

Maynard humorously noted that Rambo appeared unconcerned by the ordeal, suggesting he was taking a "well-earned break from his romantic duties." She expressed gratitude to the fire crews for their care and successful rescue of the ram.

Following the rescue, Maynard established a JustGiving page to raise funds for the Fire Fighters Charity and the Farmers Charity, with a goal of £1,000. A link to the donation page was provided.
