The lost animal was first discovered in the Caddens Corner shopping precinct in Sydney's west on Tuesday night.
A Fire and Rescue NSW crew called in to capture the cow worked alongside police to wrangle it safely to a nearby paddock at Western Sydney University.
But its troubles didn't end there with the bovine becoming bogged in a dam overnight.
Fire and Rescue, university campus security, and NSW Police mounted a second effort to free the same cow, which was stuck up to its stomach in mud.
Firefighters fashioned a 38mm fire hose into a lasso to ease the cow out of the dam and into the care of university staff.
