It depends, if you have three steers and you're only finishing one the obviously they need to be separated. So for me, the one to be finished would be in a 1/2 acre paddock with plenty of grass to graze. If I only had one steer on my property then he'd roam the fields just like he'd been doing his entire life. Topside
