livestock pens

Fenced farm areas

Livestock pens are enclosures for containing farm animals—cattle, sheep, pigs, goats.

They're typically fenced areas used for holding, sorting, or managing animals before sale, transport, or veterinary care.

The ranchers herded the cattle into the livestock pens for branding.

Auction yards and stockyards consist largely of such pens arranged for efficient movement of animals.
