[QUOTE="Dusty Britches, post: 363866, member: 1900"] Ok so I just read this: [url=http://www.cattlenetwork.com/farnam_companies_Content.asp?ContentID=116232]http://www.cattlenetwork.com/farnam_com ... tID=116232[/url] and it seems we are having trouble defining natural, grass fed, and organic. All of them seem to prohibit anitbiotics. Or do they? I also, ironically just got off the phone with a feller who is trying to convince me to join the grass fed alliance. He said the calves are allowed only trace amounts of antibiotics. Ok. So how long after administering antibiotics before it is reduced to trace? AND - If I give a cow an anitbiotic shot within 30 days of calving for ecoli bacteria prevention, does that count against the calf? I'm under the impression that these branded markets haven't thought things through. Heck even the guy I talked to said the retailer who started the alliance did so for 2 years before inviting a calf producer to table for discussions. [/QUOTE]
