Second Wisconsin barn fire in 2013 claims another twenty-one cows

Just one month after a barn fire which led to the death of over 120 cows near Manitowoc, Wisconsin, another barn fire - this time in Ft. Atkinson - has resulted in twenty-one lives lost.  The farm owner, Bill Erkhe, was returning from a vacation at the time of the fire.  Firefighters used nearly 300,000 gallons of water trying to put out the blaze - which they used to save some cows as well as protect other buildings at the farm.
