ELKTON, Md. — 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.

"Without your help, I dont know what we would have done," Hannimal wrote on Facebook. "Shout out to Patrick Campbell and the rest of the emergency services crews, I believe from Havre de Grace & Cecil County, Mike Jones, Banks Lawn Service, E.Yates Landscaping, Get Wick’D and everyone else."

While all animals got out alive, one cow was injured.

According to the farm, the cow, named Miss Mignon, is pregnant and due any day now.

For her and the baby's safety, a vet came out to induce labor, but it's unclear if Miss Mignon will make it.

Hannimal Farm is now accepting donations to help rebuild their barn.
