I feel deeply for all the owners, how awful.

i'm borrowing this from the Friends of Ferdinand twitter feed.

Although no amount of fundraising can replace Springcliff Farm’s devastating losses, a GoFundMe has now been started to help with the initial costs of starting to rebuild their historic farm. If you’re so inclined to help, you can do so here: https://gofund.me/e436affb

That's awful. So sorry.
