Well, I'll give you this: donkeys get along better with cattle than they do horses, even more so if those donkeys are outnumbered 10:1 or greater. Donkeys are also great guard animals, especially if you got young calves and have a known threat of neighbors dogs, cougars, wolves, coyotes or bears coming to try to take a calf or two.
No, not really. You need to make sure that individuals do get along with each other and that there is enough grass to maintain all.
They occur all in the same place: on the farm out on pasture, in the corral or in the barn, depending on the type of cattle you're referring to.
Cattle are not frequently attacked by wild animals and they do a decent job of protecting themselves when attacked. Cattle and hogs do well together, though. They don't compete for the same food and the hogs enjoy eating cow pies. Hogs are also light sleepers so they can roust the cattle if wild predators are about.
Besides how they are housed, where they live and what they are fed, there are almost no significant differences between them. The primary difference is how they are fed. Feedlot cattle are fed an 85% grain or concentrate diet (the rest is forage), and pasture-fed cattle are obviously set to graze grass on pasture.What's interesting in this respect is that feedlot cattle have been pastured before they entered the feedlot. These cattle have been on pasture pretty well since the day they were born, and remained so for a year and a half (~18 months) before being sent to the feedlot to be "finished" for beef. Even the weaned calves that enter the feedlot are put on pasture in the summer for 5 or 6 months, and in the winter or during the times when they cannot be on pasture they are fed a forage-rich diet. Pastured cattle will also be fed the same way if they do not have pasture to graze on, because not all areas can raise cattle on pasture all year round.The differences that may be seen is when cattle are mere days away from being sent to slaughter. Feedlot cattle are younger and somewhat fatter than pasture-finished cattle, being finished at around 20 to 24 months of age. Pasture-finished cattle are not as fat, but still well conditioned, but older. By the time they are ready for slaughter, they are around 28 to 30 months of age. Breeds and breeding matters little between feedlot and pastured cattle, feed efficiency is not breed specific, but individual-specific within and between breeds.
All equids (and tapirs) require the same vaccines but these will vary according to where they live.
Equus, horses and donkeys.
Since this is only applicable to those "ranches" that are in South America, it's because those cattle barons down there haven't much education when it comes to proper pasture management nor conservation efforts to raise cattle, but at the same time keep the forests as-is.
Donkeys are pregnant for usually 11-12 months, the same as a horse is.
Donkeys are breed in the same manner as general horse-breeding is carried out today.
Longhorns are a breed of cattle created over time in the U.S. they are leaner cattle with wide horns and eat the same things as most other cattle do.
Their both one and the same, actually. But live cattle are cattle that are alive, walking around, hearing, seeing, smelling feeling creatures. Feeder cattle are live cattle that are fed in a drylot situation prior to slaughter. Feeders are often younger weaned calves that are being backgrounded on a forage-based diet before they are reverted to a hot diet of grain before slaughter.
yes
