What skills do you need to be a dairy farmer?

Answer 1

There is more than one requirement to become a beef and/or dairy cattle farmer. But the major requirement is that you know the difference between a bull and a cow, a steer and a heifer, and a calf from an adult cow. You must also know the different development stages of a bovine from birth to death, how long it takes for a cow to carry a calf, go in heat, get bred, etc. Also knowing the behaviour and breed characteristics, as well as the ability to distinguish between beef and dairy cattle is important.
