The local farmers turned out in force and were so hostile to the idea of the sale that the auctioneer needed a police escort. After initially refusing to bid for the cow, the farmers eventually bought it and handed it back to Patterson. The house saw wartime service as a billet for Polish servicemen and for the Women's Land Army.
