I apoligize now for my lack on knowledge. I have apx. 10 steers that I was going to send to the sale barn. I have had a couple of folks ask me about selling one or two of them to send to the the steak man. I was thinking of sending one for myself as well. My question is. Most of our cows, and steers are totally raised on grass. We don't give any immunizations black leg etc... never have for 20 yrs. We are a small herd, have not lost one cow to sickness, just to old age. Last one I recall was around 20 or so when she went down. I can't even remember when was the last time we had a cow that was sick.......This all brings me to should we be worried about anything in the meat being "toxic" or harmful for human consumption. I'm sure the USDA gives packing houses regs that they have to give certain shots etc. But should I be concerned about eating one of our own? Thanks
