Spotted by Sue at the BBC:
An animal charity has rescued a cow in South Ayrshire which got its head stuck in a ladder...
"The farmer had no idea how the ladder ended up in his field as he only recently took on the lease for the land. It may have been used to patch up a hole in the fence or it could have fallen off a passing van or lorry. Either way, it's a rescue I won't forget in a while."
I think it's safe to assume that fugitive underground cows lobbed the ladder over the wall to enable the less agile members of the herd to escape. That's that little mystery solved.
* See the full article for some top-notch alliteration: "bewildered beast... Belgian Blue bullock"
Are you all set?

M, Yes definitely looks like a planned getaway on the bovine clandestine underground railway to Yvonnes secret bunker in Zangberg.
I'm intrigued that the'experts' had to be called in. Was it that the farmer hadn't had ladder training?
And another explanation is perhaps -

Middle-class cow with aspirations thought it was the housing ladder.
I'm starting to wonder whether it's the cow equivalent of planking?
