   Both battles were considered victories for the animals, but the Battle of the Windmill was more detrimental to their physical, mental, and emotional states.  The windmill which all the animals had spent two years of time and energy building was obliterated..."It was as though the windmill had never been."  This battle was not as well planned for as the Cowshed, it didn't do as much damage to buildings or grounds on the farm, and there were not as many deaths of comrades.  In the Battle of the Windmill, there were many animal deaths and nearly everyone was wounded physically.  All of the animals were wounded emotionally and spiritually since the morale is damaged in the destruction of the windmill and the deaths of friends.
