dairy barns

Milk cow housing

Dairy barns are buildings designed to house dairy cattle and facilitate milk production.

They typically include stalls for cows, milking parlors or equipment, and storage for feed.

The term distinguishes these structures from barns used for other livestock or general farm storage: The old dairy barns were converted to event spaces when the farm stopped producing milk.
