It was mentioned today on Doctor Oz, that more antibiotics are used on the nation’s meat supply than on humans. Slezak Natural Beef does not use antibiotics to help the animal grow bigger and faster. We had 4 sick calves during that stretch in January when the temps were in the 50’s, then 20’s, then 50’s, then 20’s. That’s the only time in the last 5 years I have seen antibiotics on the farm. Antibiotics are only used for medical issues on short terms, and that animal is generally placed in the breeding program and it would be 10 or more years before it would be utilized as meat.
Fourth generation farmer and his 'new-to-the-farm' forester/photographer bride have 'home-grown' beef for your discerning palate. Many of the cows have names (by him, not her) and are lovingly cared for as they roam the pastures and fields. Those that encourage walk-abouts are generally first to visit a locker or sale barn.
We breed for smaller calves, making it easier on the heifers.
