Herd suffering with sleet to be put in barn? (9)

I believe the answer is:

sheltered

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to be put in barn?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'herd suffering with sleet' is the wordplay.
'suffering with' is an anagram indicator.
'herd' with its letters mixed up with 'sleet' gives 'SHELTERED'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sheltered that I've seen before include "Took cover; protected" , "Safely tucked away" , "Protected or shielded" , "Out of the wind" , "Protected from danger or bad weather" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
