Hi ya'll.
I have a 2-month-old steer and a 4-month-old heifer (both dairy cross). Right now I keep them in a fenced area close to the barn, then lead them in at night to keep them safe - out again in the morning after they've eaten breakfast. They are eating down the fenced area pretty good and I'd like to let them range a little. We have a lot of coyote in this area and I was wondering at what age - or height - would be safe to let them free range? I do have another steer on the property; he's about a year old. He also is a dairy cross (Jersey Holstein X). Would he be to rough on the younger ones?
