animals ran into the bam

Seeing what had hap
pened, Landis went in after
them and herded them out.
“I was hoarse r or days af
terward from . houting at
them,” Landis i calls.
After a few trips in and out
of the bam, the windows in
the back of the building
exploded inward, and Landis
changed his plan of events.
“I thought I’d better get
those dry cows out, too,” he
states. All told, he freed 59
cows that night, the “fastest
I’d ever let them out in my
life.”
Even though the heat was
getting so intense that he
could barely stand it, he ran
to the milk house, which was
already smoking, and
retrieved the breeding
calendar on which he had
kept many of his records.
As the smoke swarmed
around him and the flames
cracked above his head,
Landis realized that it was
time to get out of the building
before the entire milkhouse
was consumed. Although
there were a few anxious
moments when he and
several friends were con
cerned' for their safety,
