The invention discloses a self-cleaning beef cattle rearing shed of an air circulation type. The shed comprises outer walls and inner walls, wherein a shed body is formed through enclosing of the outer walls and the inner walls; and a shed cover is disposed on the shed body. The shed also comprises an air circulation ventilation system, cattle shed self-cleaning devices and automatic water-adding and constant-temperature drinking troughs. At least two rows of enclosed rearing area units are disposed in the shed body; each enclosed rearing area unit comprises multiple enclosed rearing areas which are arranged linearly; the cattle self-cleaning device is disposed in the enclosed rearing area; the air circulation ventilation system is disposed between the outer walls and the inner walls; and the automatic water-adding and constant-temperature drinking troughs are disposed in the enclosed rearing areas. Defects in current beef cattle rearing air-circulating systems are solved; the enclosed rearing areas are cleaned automatically by the cattle shed self-cleaning devices, so time and effort are saved; whether drinking water in the trough needs to be replaced is judged jointly by a liquid level sensor and a time module on the constant-temperature drinking trough device, so the drinking water in the trough can be replaced automatically, and the water can be kept clean; and the troughs communicate with the cattle shed self-cleaning devices, so water resources can be utilized rationally.
