More than 160 cattle were housed in the barn. Most of the animals escaped without injury, except for a few burns.

"When I got here, calves were running everywhere," said the barn owner's son, Chuck Carr. "Neighbors helped us get the calves into a machine shed, and I think that we got them all, but one ran to a neighboring farm."

Investigators aren't sure what caused the fire yet.
