cattle shed

Cow housing structure

A cattle shed is a simple roofed structure providing shelter for cows and other bovines.

Unlike a barn, which typically encloses animals fully and may store feed or equipment, a cattle shed often has open sides, offering protection from sun and rain while allowing air circulation: The herd gathered in the cattle shed during the storm.
