Firefighters battled the fire in subzero temperatures.
Fire Chief Matt Conner tells the Lewiston Sun Journal that the homeowner and a friend were shoveling snow off the roof of a cattle barn when the fire started shortly after 11:30 Friday morning.
The cattle were in a back field and were not injured in the fire.
