Area ranchers helped out with stock trailers and portable panels during lengthy roadside extraction.
It was a highway rescue of a different kind on Friday when a liner holding 130 head of cattle went off Highway 16 near Cluculz Lake.
With the help of social media, a call out was issued to anyone with a stock trailer or portable panel to either transport or contain the livestock as they were extracted from liner - and plenty responded. It took until about midnight to clear the scene and have all the animals transported back to Vanderhoof.
Pritchard speaks from experience, having dealt with a similar incident about 20 years ago near Cranbrook but involving significantly heftier livestock that were being transported to the United States for slaughter.
