The community of Greendale came together in a big way this week to help baby cows in need.

When flooding started in the Sumas area, farmers scrambled to save their livestock. But with water rising fast, dozens of calves were left shivering in chest deep water for more than a day.

Victoria Hergott put out a call for help Thursday afternoon, and the response was swift. Soon after, the cold and soggy calves were on a boat heading to her dry property on the Chilliwack side of the Vedder Canal dike.

If any volunteers want to come with extension cords and warm hair blow driers to dry off calves or have extra blankets large enough to be wrapped around a 200-300lb animal please come.香蕉视频直播�

And they did. Volunteers flocked to the property, far more than Hergott ever expected.

Overwhelmed by the response, by Thursday night, she was able to make a happy follow-up post on Facebook.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I know the owners of these calves are very grateful for your efforts! All the babies are resting after a very scary and exhausting few days for them.
