They’re fun to have but they get big fast. Even a Highland will eat a lot more than you expect, so make sure you’ve got plenty of space and hay.

Holsteins especially can be hard to keep as “pets” since they’re really bred for production.

Also think about fencing, vet care, and how you’ll handle them when they’re full grown—moving a 1,200-lb animal isn’t the same as a goat or dog.
