This Young Woman And Her Boyfriend Lost All But One Of Their Cows In A Barn Fire: Her Cousin Is Raising Money To Help Them Rebuild Their Herd When Their Hearts Are In It
Vernon, Vermont. Lexi and her boyfriend Corey live on a farm in Vernon, Vermont, and together they had a herd of dairy cows that Lexi actively showed.
Unfortunately, there was a fire in the cow barn that happened before the sun rose on November 15th, which seems to have been caused by the older electrical wiring in the barn.
Sadly, the young couple lost every single one of their beloved cows, except for one.
“Many of you know Lexi, a 2020 graduate of UMASS Animal Science from Mass 4H, and the dairy show ring,” Lexi’s cousin Chelsea Smith wrote on a GoFundMe for her and Corey.
“Yesterday, Lexi lost all but one of her show cows. Indiana was due to calf in just a few short weeks, her second daughter Illusion as well as the very special Betty White.”
“These animals were not just farm animals to Lexi and Corey but their life’s work, beloved and more like their children.”
“Lexi’s love for these animals, her dedication, and her hard work is known to everyone who meets her.”
“The magnitude of this unbearable loss just can not be put into words. Please join us in rallying around Lexi and Corey in this time of need.”

“The tragedy of losing these animals and the grief they are enduring is immeasurable and while no amount of money could ever replace what they have lost in these beautiful creatures we are asking for donations to help Lexi and Corey rebuild,” Chelsea said.
Chelsea went on to mention that some of the things that Lexi and Corey had inside their barn that were lost in the fire include hay, feed, tools, clippers, and other various barn necessities.
Nothing could be saved from the fire, and the entire barn, along with what was inside, was completely lost.
“The thought of starting a new herd immediately is too much for Lexi to begin to think about and she no longer has a place for them at this time,” Chelsea continued.
The money that Chelsea helps to raise on behalf of Lexi and Corey will be used to help the young couple replace what they lost in the fire and rebuild their herd of cows when their hearts are in it.
