The fire broke out Monday afternoon in the 1000 block of Jamison Corner Road.
Workers were able to get the cows out of the barn.
The State Fire Marshal's office says the fire began when a farm machine's hot exhaust pipe ignited some flammable items.
One fire fighter was treated for heat exhaustion.
