Feed Pad Cover for Calf & Livestock Shelters
Feed pad covers and cattle shelters play a critical role on New Zealand farms by protecting livestock, reducing pasture damage, and improving feeding efficiency. Without shelter, cattle and calves are exposed to wind, rain and cold, which can increase stress, reduce feed intake, and make young stock more prone to sickness.

Tough Shelters’ feed pad shelters provide reliable overhead protection for feed pads, stand off pads and livestock shelter areas, creating a more consistent, comfortable environment for cattle and calves while improving pad conditions year-round.

Why Cover Your Feed Pad? Protecting Cattle, Calves & Livestock
Many New Zealand livestock farms start with uncovered feed pads or stand-off pads, but often find that a covered feed pad offers better animal wellbeing and protection of feed. Here’s why:
Better Feed Protection
A feed pad cover keeps feed dry and usable by reducing exposure to rain and wind, helping minimise spoilage and waste.
Improved Animal Comfort
A covered cattle shelter protects cattle from rain, wind and harsh sun during feeding and stand-off periods.
Designed to Suit Existing Farm Layout
Our feed pad shelters are sized to suit existing pads and can be extended as farm layouts or herd sizes change, making them a practical long-term livestock shelter solution.
A Practical, Faster Alternative to Full Housing
Covered feed pads provide effective shelter without the cost, complexity, or long build times of pole sheds and shelters, and can be installed far quicker than traditional builds.
