Why Shaded, Open-Air Sheds Matter in a Punjab Summer

Tall roofs, fresh air and soft sand yards — how the farm’s housing keeps the herd comfortable through the hottest months.

Visitors often notice the sheds before they notice anything else: tall roofs on steel posts, open sides, and sandy yards beside them. None of it is decoration. It is how the farm is built for a Punjab summer.

Tall roofs, open sides

Our sheds are open-air: a tall shaded roof over the animals, with open walls that let fresh air move through. The shade keeps the sun off the herd, and the open sides stop the heat from being trapped inside.

The shed is where the animals spend their months with us. It has to work in the hottest weeks of the year, not just the easy ones.

— Sarfraz Latif, Managing Partner

Sand yards and water close by

Beside the sheds are soft sand yards where the animals can rest and move. Each pen has its own blue water trough, washed and refilled daily, and the feed lane runs right under the roof, so animals eat in the shade.

  • Shade — a tall roof over the feed lane and resting areas.
  • Fresh air — open walls let air move through the shed.
  • Soft ground — sandy yards for resting and moving.
  • Water — a trough in every pen, cleaned and refilled daily.

All on one site

The sheds, feed lane, troughs and sand yards all sit on one piece of land in Hujra Shah Muqeem. That makes daily routines — feeding, cleaning, observation — easier for the team, and keeps the herd in one well-managed place throughout the three-to-four-month cycle.
