May also refer to any open-fronted shed that provides shelter for cattle kept in yards, whether it has one to three walls and stands alone or is a lean-to set against a barn. Originally such sheds typically formed part of a farmyard group, with barns and other sheds around a central yard. For four-walled buildings designed for the housing of bovines, use either "cattle barns" or "dairy barns." ]]></dc:description></metadata>
