The fire, at Great Common Farm, Top Road, Ilketshall St Andrew, near Beccles, is under control and affected a complex of farm buildings.
Three large sheds have borne the brunt of the damage with the roof and interior of one barn badly damaged by the flames with a large bundle of straw also on fire at one point.
All of the cows related to the farm are safe, with the Environment Agency on the way to help the farm owner with the aftermath of the blaze.
Top Road is shut until further notice to allow for fire crews to shuttle to water supply sources to continue battling the fire.
