A barn fire left thousands of swine dead. It happened yesterday and a call came in a little bit after 5:30 Wednesday morning of a large hog barn on fire at Holden Farms.
The farm is located on Gonty road in the Town of Naples east of Mondovi. Fire crews battled the blaze for hours and it is estimated that most of the 4,000 swine in the barn did perish as a result of the fire.
