<p>Cowboys and volunteers saved over 500 cattle stranded by flooding in Liberty, Texas, on Sunday, May 31. The herd was stuck on a 40 acre “island,” created by rising waters of the Trinity River, according to local reports</a>. The cowboys used air boats to help guide the cattle off the island to higher ground, so the cows could finish their 8-mile journey down Highway 90 to Dayton, Texas.</p><p>This dramatic footage, filmed by local volunteer cowboy Jake Johnson, shows the old fashioned cattle drive as the cows struggled in high flood waters Credit: Facebook/Jake Johnson</p>
