Remove roof beams, will the building collapse?

I’m brainstorming a bit about the near future when I have to build a stable... The problem is that the part of the barn that fits best has a ceiling that's too low because there were cows there before. But we no longer need the loft, so the question is whether we can remove it and some of the rafters without the building collapsing under the weight of the roof. Here is the building, and the mark is where the stable will be and where I want to remove the rafter layer. The rafter layer and the carrying beam from the outside... The trusses as they are and the red is a rule that I thought to reinforce each truss with before the removal of the rafter layer. The rafter layer from below... Seen from the middle aisle towards the stable part... Detail picture In total, there are about 6 rafters in a row that I want to remove. Is it just to go ahead, or should one reconsider? :)

In the absence of finding a better picture....
Working on removing the moss from the roof.
