Okay, as some of you might remember back in May our barn burned down and we lost two show steers and everything else cattle related. Well, we have rebuilt our barn and we are really happy with it. The only thing we have not done yet is make the runs coming off of each of the steers pens. Instead of the runs, right now it is one big trap area. We have been turning our older steer out at night in the trap area. Now we have our younger steer for county we just got in.
My question is..would it be okay to turn these guys out together at night until the runs are built? Do you think that there is a chance the bigger steer could hurt the little steer? Should I just wait until the runs are built and rotate turning them out at night. The bigger steer is weighing around 920 Lbs and the smaller steer is about 600 Lbs. Thanks for any advice, I just tend to worry about these kind of things!
