Baby animals in this game will seem to mature on their own without support. I think you really only need to feed animals to get them to breed. I've had baby animals trapped in a pit and abandoned still grow up!
I just tested this in my creative mode game, and it doesn't work. Can't seem to mix and match ores in the same bloomery.
I highly recommend having a separate game in creative mode for testing stuff like this before you risk precious resources in survival. I like to start the game in normal survival, then switch it to creative back and forth with:
