We usually figure about 1.2 acres per cow but we have Holstein dairy cows in confinement year around. That's applied to ground we're going to grow corn on. If we were to apply that same manure to a pasture we would use a little less. Beef cows probably eat a little less therefore poop a little less and if your only dealing with 6 months worth of confinement, I would say 1/2 acre per cow or less. Just a rough guess though. Steers have better feed conversion so they will be even a little less than the beef cows.
