The farmers don't feed bison anti-biotics? Wonder why they do it to beef and not to bison. This guy doesn't use anti biotics at least he said he doesn't. Our relatives in S. Alberta are cattle ranchers. They don't feed their animals anti biotics, either. |

New Zealand Meat We Kiwis are extremely lucky when it comes to the meat we have available in our own back yard. In contrast to other parts of the world, it is fair to say we live in the best country for nutritionally superior meat. In large countries like the united states, many cattle are raised in cramped, unsanitary lots (resulting in the necessity to be pumped with antibiotics) and to meet the huge demand of meat consumption in the states, they are often given bovine growth-hormone injections to shorten the time from birth to butcher shop (in 2005, 32.5 million cattle were slaughtered to provide beef for US consumers(1) ) and these artificial growth hormones in beef production poses a potential risk to human health.
