milking shed
Where cows yield
A milking shed is a building where dairy cows or goats are milked, typically a simple roofed structure where animals are brought in sequence to be milked by hand or machine.
In regions with pastoral farming traditions, particularly Australia and New Zealand, the term is more common than the American "milking parlor." The cows filed into the milking shed at dawn.
