A barn is a complete write off following a blaze Monday night in Wellesley Township.

Wellesley fire crews responded to call on a property on Lobsinger Line between Charles Street and Moser Young Road around 8pm. By the time they arrived the barn was completely engulfed in flames.

The cause of the fire is believed to be related to a skid steer which had mechanical issues in the past.

Officials say around 190 cattle were inside the barn at the time of the fire, 100 were accounted for Monday night with 90 unknown.

The missing cattle could be roaming around town but no word has been reported as of Tuesday morning.
