Google " Mono Slope cattle sheds" There will be lots of pictures of cattle barns/sheds.
You want longer narrower sheds, open on one side facing south or south-east. Feed bunks can make the front fence. Some are totally under roof while some have the feed bunks out further with some more yard space in front of the sheds. Tall sloping roofs make for better ventilation. I think some of the set ups have the roof too tall. Storms from the south can wet the bedding clear to the back of the barns.
I personally like this design better than the single slope roofs. You get the ventilation you need and light but have the front slope to stop rain/snow from blowing on from the front.
This single slope shed in the most common being built around me. There have been hundreds of them built in just the last few years around here in North-East Iowa.
Some fellows are even using hoop buildings with a center vent. I am not a fan of the hoop buildings in that they are getting to be about as expensive as regular shed/barns anymore
