Fire at upstate NY farm kills 30-40 dairy cows

WESTMORELAND, N.Y. (AP) — Authorities say a barn fire that killed more than two dozen cows at a central New York dairy farm doesn't appear to be suspicious.

Firefighters and farm workers managed to rescue dozens of other cows after the blaze broke out Monday morning at the B&KFedor Dairy in Westmoreland, 40 miles east of Syracuse.

Fire officials say 30 to 40 cows out of a herd of 110 cows died in the fire. It took firefighters about three hours to bring the blaze under control.

Officials say the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
