Golaub Dairy Farm Recovery
The family-owned small dairy operation suffered major losses during Hurricane Melissa. The storm killed **4 cows, 2 heifers, and 3 calves**, and several trees collapsed onto the boundary fence, blocking access to the **35-acre pasture**. The **cow shed roof** was destroyed, halting all dairy production.
