I'm wondering how all our Eastern Region friends have fared in the aftermath of landfall in this latest storm. I would imagine a lot of pastures are or have been underwater, seeing the news on the tube. How are your herds doing? Do Dexters swim?

We had little or no effect from the hurricane here in Church Road, VA, but people around us did. We were lucky.
My daughter in Richmond filmed a tornado yesterday.
I got word from Randy at Twisted Willow Farm in North Carolina that his Dexters came through safely.

We really dodged a bullet here. A lot of rain, everything is mushy, can't keep up with mowing, but better than drought I think, and way better than snow. I spent the better part of a week prepping for H. Florence, but that's okay. My biggest fear was wind toppling trees onto fence lines, and thankfully that didn't occur. Hurricane season ain't over yet though!

I spent a week trying to plan for 10-12 inches of rain. . .which would have been a mess since it is absolutely saturated here. We had rain all summer long so I am very grateful the rain that came was manageable.
North Carolina has large poultry and swine farms. There are millions of pigs and chickens that have drowned in these floods. I worry about the wildlife, and the domesticated pets, and I think there are Dexter breeders in some of those coastal and inland areas but have not heard a word.
More than anything. . .. . . . . .I am puzzled by the hundreds of rescues now taking place. .. . . . when this storm was predicted and there were warnings much in advance. I don't fault those who had no ability to flee. . . but those who could and did not. . . . and have placed rescuers in danger are beyond selfish.
