Do the cattle receive added growth hormones?
Our cattle do not receive growth hormone implants of any kind within 100 days of harvest which far exceeds FDA withdrawal guidelines. Our cattle are fed only in licensed feed yards that have agreed to meet this specification. We personally monitor these feed yards on a regular basis to review their records and ensure compliance with our high standards. Do the cattle receive antibiotics? Our cattle do not receive antibiotics of any kind within 100 days of harvest. An independent ISO-certified Food Safety Lab randomly tests our product each week for antibiotic residue. We have never had a positive reaction, but any beef showing a positive can be removed from the system before it arrives at the retail store, restaurant or our online shipping cooler. But not using antibiotics doesn’t mean that we would neglect a sick animal. Horse-back riders monitor the health and comfort of our cattle on a daily basis. Sick animals are cared for and treated but that animal is eliminated from our program.
