I know a fellow who uses growth enhancing pill that are injected just under the skin on his cattle. I assume they are some kind of steroid. He says they work. I was wondering about the safety, ethical and legal questions they might cause. He said that some places won't sell them.
A legal product
We used Ralgo and injected the implant into the cartilage in the ear - it was a timed relaease product.
We used to get about aq 50 pound increase if memory serves - we no longer use them.
Some folks used to use them on their grassers as well
Other than organic operations, they are very widely used and I would suggest the vast majority of feed lots use them - so it is very probable that you have eaten some of the final product.
Never heard of a place refusing to sell them
