Man there is no way i would work under that roof with that kind of damage. If one has pulled out like that then the whole place is suspect to coming apart at any second.
If I were you and wanted to save the barn i would start taking it aprt from the top down. Be sure to susport it on all sides with heavy ,I mean heavy props. set in the ground good and secured to each main post. then you can take the roof off after that you should be able to work on it safely. But keep it well susported until it can stand on its own. and don't work alone get a large crew to help you.
Or if you don't understand the principle I would hire the work out. Your life and limb ain't worth the risk to do it yourself.

I have a simular type barn and I worry about it at times but the main frame is solid so far.
