• Cattle need regular supervision. Milking cows will need milking twice a day at regular times every day, plus 24 hour attention at calving. You will need enough time to care for them all year round and a willing and able person to look after them in your absence.
  
• Preventative care is essential - learn how to spot signs of illness, and administer vaccinations and give wormers.
  
• Know when to call the vet.
  
• Think carefully about what your requirements are before buying anything.
  
• Cattle are covered by a number of regulations which you must observe.
