Is my barn plan big enough for 4 horses, 1 pony, and 5 beef steers?

Question

Below I have doodled the plans for a barn I am currently looking for a property to build the barn on but I want to know if the barn plans would be adequate. 4 horses 1 pony and about 5 head beef steer with the equines coming in at night with hay nets and going to pasture after morning grain. Cattle probably only coming in for bad weather. Atm it's just a dream but any advice is appreciated. Pet's info: Farm Animal | Unknown | Male | 1000 lbs

Hello. You have drawn some nice plans, but if you are wondering about the cattle pen, I would go with the 20 x 30 if you can. No one ever wishes they had built a smaller pen, but everyone wishes they had a bigger one & kick themselves when they think back to the original plans.
