#horses - #Steer with horses?


Steer with horses?

I currently have 2 QH and 2 Pygmy goats. Initially the horses were skittish around the goats but now they get along well, climb on the horses, feed together and sleep in the barn together. Although one of the horses like to chase them around on occasion, but not aggressive. I think bored playing as he's never actually tried to catch/hurt them.

Now a family friend asked if I want one of their calves. He's a miniature Hereford-Dexter cross so it won't be that big. My concern is how a young, individual steer will get along. My assumption is like the goats and it'll be fine after a month or so.

Internet searches are primarily larger herds of each with mixed reviews.

Does anyone keep cattle/horses together?
