Morphology
The meaning 'a farm where cattle are bred and raised' is directly and compositionally derived from combining 'cattle' (livestock) with 'farm' (tract of land for farming). This noun+noun compound follows a very common and cross-linguistically transparent pattern (a farm of X), so a B1 learner who knows both words will readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Cattle farm comes from the simple picture of a farm that keeps cattle, animals like cows and bulls. So it means a place 'where cattle are raised' for meat, milk, or other products.
