[QUOTE="IGotMyWings, post: 725364, member: 8639"] In the "natural/organic" meat world, they are either frowned on or shunned completely. I think feeding them routinely is bad not only for the mutation of the icks they're supposed to cure, but also the residue they sometimes leave behind. Now, I know that some will swear that there are never residues, but a member of my family is allergic to antibiotics, and her reaction to them is head to toe itching and welts and hives all over her. Oddly enough, once in a while, we'll grab a hamburger or steak while out and about, and she has that same reaction. I'm not a doctor, and don't play one on TV, but it adds up to me! In my herd, which is grass fed from teat to meat, I will use antibiotics, but only on an as needed basis, which keeps me from marketing organic, but lets me keep my animals healthy! To keep my customers concerns about antibiotic residue to a minimum, I promise to exceed the WD time on the bottle by two weeks. Only the "thou shalt never utilize the evil antibiotic" crowd have faulted me. [/QUOTE]
