With so much fence washed out or flattened, there wasn’t any barrier left between our cattle and the main road. Joe and I put up a temporary electric fence and waited for the water to go down.
Yesterday, Joe was able to call the majority of them across the river and up to higher ground.
Then help arrived today.
Joe had called a fence builder a couple of months ago to get on the list to build some new fence. The fence builder called Saturday to say he was ready to come. Joe asked if it was coincidence or Devine intervention. I picked Devine intervention. We are very thankful that our only damage was to fences and fields. We have lost stockpiled pasture but still have hay.
And our wonderful son in law Mike has been a Godsend with a chainsaw.
I do hope that at least the ticks might have gotten washed away.
