ST. ROSA, Minn. – An early morning barn fire took the dairy facility and all the milking cows housed within on Jan. 4 near St. Rosa, Minnesota. Glenn Heinen and his son, Aron, who dairy together, lost their dairy facility and their 48 milking cows in the blaze. “It didn’t really hit me until that night that they were gone, everything was gone,” said Heinen, a dairy farmer for 30 years. “Those cows were my whole life. I feel so sorry for those poor cows. I loved and cared for them all their lives.”
