Livestock Shelters

Livestock shelters, also known as barns or housing facilities, are structures specifically designed to provide protection, comfort, and appropriate living conditions for domesticated animals. Livestock shelters vary in size, design, and materials used, depending on the type of livestock, climate, and specific management practices. Here are some common types of livestock shelters:

1. Barns: Barns are versatile structures used to house various types of livestock, including cattle, horses, pigs, and poultry. Barns typically have multiple stalls or pens to accommodate individual or grouped animals. They provide protection from the elements, such as extreme temperatures, rain, wind, and snow. Barns can be constructed using wood, steel, or a combination of materials.

2. Stables: Stables are specifically designed for housing horses. They can range from simple shelters to more elaborate structures with individual stalls, tack rooms, and grooming areas. Stables provide protection from weather conditions, secure enclosures for horses, and storage space for feed and equipment.
