No added hormones; We only treat sick animals with antibiotics, typically when they are calves and acclimating to life on the farm with other calves. However, our meat is antibiotic free as no residues are ever in the beef. Withdrawal times are strictly adhered to. Administration of all antibiotics is under the direction and consultation of our veterinarian and feeding is at the formulation of our nutritionist.
