We tried running the cows at first, to see if they would go on their own. That didn\u2019t work. So we jumped to Plan B.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had a Sea-Doo for two years. I live two minutes from work, so I just hooked up to it and took off.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s obviously really hard to pull cows through water, but it was a great team effort. I pulled a cow to the freeway, where they had cattle trailers loading them right away. By the time I got back to the barns, they had another one ready for us.<\/p>\n<p>When we had to call it quits, many people had been standing in waist-high water for five hours. I didn\u2019t stay dry, either\u2014everyone had got pretty cold by the end.<\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t lose any cows. If they had stayed there, they probably wouldn\u2019t have made it. I was just focused on getting them to safety. Farmers can adapt to a plan pretty fast. If it might work, they\u2019re gonna try it.<\/p>\n<p>I did a small part. I\u2019ll do it again, in a heartbeat. If I could be out there more, I would, but my boss still has a farm that has to be run.<\/p>\n<p><em>This story was told to Michael Fraiman by Ryan Gemser, 34, an equipment manager on a dairy farm in Abbotsford, B.C. When the area flooded on Nov. 15, he helped rescue 40 cows from his friend\u2019s farm.<\/em><br \/>\n<span class=\"ctx-article-root\"><!-- --><\/span><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async defer crossorigin=\"anonymous\" src=\"https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
