▲ A drifted cow found at the foot of the Nakdong River in Changwon City on the 18th

A cow, which was drifted away during a recent torrential downpour, was found unharmed in about 10 days.

In the morning of today (18th), a citizen found a cow grazing at the hillside of the Nakdong River near Daesan Baseball Stadium, Daesan-myeon, Uichang-gu, Changwon-si, Gyeongnam.

As a result of checking the mark on the ear, this cow was a 36-month-old cow raised by a livestock farmer in Yulgok-myeon, Hapcheon-gun.

In Hapcheon-gun, an average of 300 mm of heavy rain fell on an average of 300 mm for 3 days from the 6th, and many livestock as well as houses and farmland flooded around Yulgok-myeon.

The city of Changwon has determined that a cow swept by the water swollen by heavy rains has floated down 90km down the Nakdong River.

An official from the Changwon Agricultural Technology Center said, "It didn't look like a big wound, but the cow was in a lean state for a few days to eat properly."

Changwon city captured the cow and handed it over to its original owner.


The owner of the cow said, "I didn't even think that 10 days after I lost the cow during the heavy rain, a miracle happened, but a miracle happened," and said, "I am grateful to the people who found the cow and I will pamper you more."

In Gyeongnam, on the 11th, a Korean beef that had been washed away from Hapcheon was found in Miryang, about 80 km away.

On the 12th, a cow was found on an uninhabited island off the coast of Galhwa-ri, Gohyeon-myeon, Namhae-gun, while being swept away by a rapid current from a livestock complex in Gurye-eup, Gurye-gun, Jeollanam-do.
