ELKTON, Maryland (WMAR) — An all-out community effort saved the day for one family-owned business in Elkton.
Just before 7am Monday Hannimal Farm put out a social media post stating their barn had collapsed, leaving a pregnant cow trapped inside.
With resources limited due to Sunday’s snow storm, Hannimal pleaded for help.
By 9am some reinforcements came to the rescue.
“Thank you to everyone that came out so quickly to help. Without your help, I don’t know what we would have done,” Hannimal said on Facebook. “Shout out to Patrick Campbell and the rest of the emergency services crew, Banks Lawn Service, and everyone else.”
While all animals got out alive, one cow was injured.
According to the farm’s latest Facebook post, the cow, Miss Mignon, is pregnant and a vet came out to induce labor, as she is due any day now. For her safety, they decided not to transport her to limit stress to her and the baby.
Hannimal Farm is now working to rebuild the barn roof. They are accepting donations, which can be made through their Venmo, @hannimalfarm, or Cash App, $hannimalfarm.
