Authorities reported at least 21 cattle died in a barn fire that burned for hours Saturday on a farm about 30 miles east of Madison. Fort Atkinson Fire Chief Michael Reed said the department received the report of a fire just before 3 p.m. Saturday. Crews arrived to find the barn and two connecting structures at N3726 Ehrke Road in the Town of Oakland engulfed in flames, Reed said. Farm owner Bill Ehrke told firefighters there were between 30-35 cattle inside the barn. The dead cattle toll may rise as they move through the rubble.
