CBS 4 News in Denver published a story yesterday of how a dozen horses and cattle were rescued from flooded fields in Weld County, Colorado. The Oschner family and other ranchers spotted their horses and cattle in helicopter footage that aired on CBS4 and — grateful to know the animals were alive– were determined to help get them out of danger.

“One neighbor called another neighbor and before long we had a yard full of pickups and trailers,” Ochsner said.
The result on Saturday was that nearly a dozen horses were taken to safety. Together they were able to reach them by boat and then move them to higher ground. They were then taken from near Greeley to an area outside of Milliken. All the animals were successfully rescued by the next day.
