One Of The Most Controversial Topics In Ag?..

[@sheilasaunders3338]

Loved seeing the different crops. As non farmers, when we drive the sideroads, we always wonder what the crops are we are seeing in the fields. I wish someone would put out a big coffee table book with huge pictures of the fields of crops and their names and what they are used for. It would be awesome

That is beyond deplorable that the meat can be marketed in such a deceptive way. Consumers are beyond sick and tired of being tricked and manipulated by big agri. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting.

[@RICDirector]

Before you get too 'sickened', realize that if the beef has NEVER had hormones given, it is considered value-added and usually labled as 'ooh, look, none ever'. At the time of slaughter, there ARE NO DETECTABLE RESIDUES of any hormones given. Period. There is no difference in hormonal substances between treated and untreated animals at that point in time. They are indeed 'hormone-free'. If that bothers you so much, tell the suppliers that you want meat labeled as to whether or not it has ever been treated.

[@joakrage3972]

@@RICDirector it is labeled and sold at a premium price for hormone free the problem is that some farms have found a loophole and are exploiting it for the extra profit if he wants to use hormones fine many people don't have the budget to pay for the hormone free meat but don't sell it to the market and tell them it's hormone free it gives farmers a dishonest look and makes people not trust us

The rye is looking so good I am glad that worked out for you. Can’t believe it is that tall as most crops in the area are just getting going.

Raising them 21% faster is not just about the feed but they get processed sooner. So between less feed and being able to process faster it should reduce any fears of food insecurity.

[@joakrage3972]

As a dairy farmer in Ontario we put our cows on pasture problem is even though we do as much as possible to make them happy by giving them fresh grass every day and only putting them out when it isn't too hot they still only like it outside for about 2 months of the year the rest of the time we have to let them back in the barn because that is where they'd rather be

[@darrinpelham144]

Its crazy that as you walk through the different parts of the dairy I have the smell memory to remember each of them.

What do you use for cleaning the udder/teats?

Wow. Marketed as hormone free after you give hormones. Sad that the packaging is so misleading. I appreciate your transparency.

[@robynmorris7945]

By the time the steers get to the slaughter house the hormones have been depleted from the system….gone…..no more…so therefore, hormone free.

[@asthmaticbigbird6574]

Yeah that’s marketing for you. Same goes for antibiotics, some ag animals are given antibiotics for various reasons but go through a withdrawal period before the animal is processed. And it’s still labeled as antibiotic free. Which technically it is… but marketing should definitely do a better job

[@RICDirector]

At the point of slaughter, there are no detectable hormonal residues. You cannot legally market meat animals which have residual hormones (or antibiotics); that gets very expensive VERY quickly!

Seems to work, at least on lighter soils and being prepared to give it a lot of manure/fertilizers.

I'm not necessarily against using hormones but could you not get the same gain in efficiency by leaving them whole as in not castrating them?

[@RICDirector]

Perhaps, but it results in poorer marbling and tenderness in the meat, as well as a higher likelihood of injuries, ie vet bills and bruises or scars, so a loss of value there.

[@matains88]

Are hormones that you're giving them supposed to bring up their levels back up to normal, physiological levels that they would have with testies? Ore are they entering supraphysiologic levels which would make it unnatural? With studies it is important to know who funded them. You can set up a study to show what you want, or you can interpret the results in a way that fits your goals. Often the raw data is not available to public scrutiny. I'm leaning towards believing it's fine, but we cannot possibly measure all of the ways it could impact human health in a study so we still have to be cautious. 25% reduced feed consumption is a strong argument though, even if there is a health cost hiding somewhere in the noisy data.
