The fire service said in the tweet: "This calf made a slight miscowculation this morning and got his head trapped in the leg of a pylon in Bollington.
"Our animal rescue team were quickly on the scene and released him from his plight. He was last seen mooving off to rejoin his herd."
During the summer, firefighters spent more than an hour rescuing a cow after it got its head stuck in a tree in Hampshire. Hampshire and Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service (HIWFRS) was called out to Chilbolton Common on Wednesday August 31.
The HIWFRS crew received the call at around 7.40pm and worked with an animal rescue adviser to cut the tree. The cow was set free by 11pm.
