9 month ram bullying 6 month steer

Once a 9 month old ram has butted a 6 month old steer it grew up with - bullied, and run him round and round the pasture - will he never be safe to stay with the steer again?

This just happened last night. Our ram LeRoy ran into the barn while the steer was eating, and butted the steer's side full blast - then chased and butted him until we got them apart... poor steer panting and gasping... 8O

I guess it's hormones, but what I wonder is - should we never let the 4 sheep and 2 steers in the same pasture/barn together again?

:(
