CLEVELAND, Mo. (AP) — Eight horses died in a fire at a Cass County barn early Friday.

The fire killed seven American paints and one quarter horse, all of show caliber.

The animals were owned by customers at Knaus Show Horses. They were valued at between $300,000 and $400,000.

The Missouri State Fire Marshal’s office ruled the cause to be undetermined due to the extent of damage to the barn, which was a total loss.
