Way back in the day we used to feed out our calves and never used ruminsin. Never had problems but then again out feeders weren't standing up to their bellies in cow shit either.

How did our forefather's raise cattle without antibiotics and growth hormones?

The cattle usually had the same fate as the forefathers without antibiotics, they usually died.

That is so true about 1000's of animals in a pile...lots of space and there should be less problems.
Rather see them in grass.

point is , there are lots of guys raising cattle on pasture in Canada . why in f$&k doesn't earls get beef from them ? guaranteed it's all about money . I'm done eating there , I know the "seven ? " of us won't make any difference , but I will feel better .

[riders2010]

Question is how many are finishing them on larger pasture type areas grain and grass? Probably not many. I doubt the imported stuff is better though than our feedlot stuff.

Packer buyers used to get upset with yellow fat on grass fed beef.
Consumers wanted white fat from drylots and barley fed animals.
Ironic that consumers now choose humanely treated production.
Wonder what's next?

[farmaholic]

Bubble wrap, bottled water, only native grass, shade or sunscreen, non-treated fence posts, preferably open range laws, if not....smooth wire(non-electrified of course) instead of barbed, kosher salt and daily grooming...

[farmaholic]

Isn't singling out either certified humane or certified angus discriminatory and going to cause mental anguish to all the others?

I thought we taught our kids to be all inclusive, not to bully or discriminate and that no matter how poorly they perform....they can't fail!!! How do you explain it to the animals that they're not good enough for______?

Ok that was just stupid....

The movement across the spectrum of convential ag is clocking in at a rate of over ten percent. I'll be surprised if canola is even grown on the prairies in twenty years.

[fjlip]

Agree, canola is EVIL all over the internet. The processing is very suspect as HEAT= transfat, yet CFIA says all is well. Sure hope there is science in that statement NOT bribes$$$!

With the amount of hate towards feedlots on this thread, it's no wonder these marketing campaigns work on city people.
How many of you have been on a feedlot in the last 5 years? Things have changed drastically, and most producers with poor practices are no longer around.
