Dairy guy here. If we never had to deal with the mud I probably wouldn't even consider putting up a building. Between the mud and the cold wind it is nice having the animals inside during them times. Cows are very happy and seem to be healthier when they can do out side and can get off of the concrete. I'm in my 1st winter with my compost/ pack barn. Animals in it seem to be doing really well right now. Once the weather gets more fit for the cows, they will sound more time outside. Once we start grazing around may 1st, all animals will not see a barn except for milking.
There are lots of ways to do things, you just need to figure out what works for you.
