Those crazy cows. Didn’t anyone tell them not to light their farts inside the barn?

Just simple roof vents, cracks, etc release lighter than air gases.

Manure pits, or deep beds of animal litter

That would seem a strange condition for inside the barn. Typically a barn is going to have humans working inside from time to time.

I wonder if one cow thinks that the other cow’s farts stink.

That just doesn’t ring true.

What was the amount of the insurance? Was the farm in financial trouble?

Bovine blasts and static electricity? Nah. Not buying it.

It doesn’t have to be vapor tight; it just has to contain enough of the fumes long enough for something bad to happen.
