I'm sure there are plenty of resources on this topic, but I don't know what keywords to use to find them.
I want to know how you might create a noun by saying that the noun does something.
For example,
I saw the cow that ate vegetables at the shop
Would be something like
店で[牛は野菜を食べた]を見た。
The bracketed part of the above sentence is the clause that I don't know how to turn into a noun.
Note that I'm not looking for a sentence like
店で牛は野菜を食べていることを見た。
That would mean
I saw the cow eating vegetables at the shop
Because the cow did not eat the vegetables while I saw it, that's just how I'm identifying the cow.
Hopefully, the question is clear. Thanks in advance.
Edit
Even a name for what this is called so that I can do further reading would be invaluable.

The grammatical term you're looking for is relative clause (関係代名詞 or 連体修飾節 in Japanese).
With this keyword, you should be able to find enough articles, but this answer is a good starter: https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/14550/5010

Thanks to @ZLK 's comment @naruto 's answer:
These are called relative clauses. They're constructed by simply writing the clause without the subject and then placing the subject afterwards.
Thus,
At the shop I saw the cow that ate vegetables
becomes
店で野菜を食べた牛を見ました。
