Firefighters consulted with police and ended up taking the cow to the grounds of Western Sydney University at Werrington to keep it safe overnight.
The cow ended up needing to be rescued again Wednesday morning when firefighters received a call reporting the bovine had wandered into a dam on the campus and became stuck up to its stomach in mud.
The firefighters used a fire house "to fashion a makeshift lasso which they threw around the cow's neck and gently eased her out of the mud," Fire and Rescue NSW said in a statement.
Officials said they are still trying to identify the cow's owner.
