Ussually means "natural", no drugs were given for sickness. But they would most likely be vaccinated. Probably means they are implant free as well.

I've never heard of that term: "drug free." Generally, they're called "natural" which means they've had no growth hormones or antibiotics.

I have advertised "natural". They had no steriods, no vaccinations (yeah, I know so hush), no antibiotics, no hormones. This is not a bad option for a cow/calf operation and I would not hestitate to do it again, but it is impossible with sale barn bottle feds.
