Traditional Farmer: How many cattle do you have on feed?????? Right now my family has over 4500 head of feeder cattle on feed. You do the math. You can get the value of what we have. With that many animals you have sick cattle. We also have little control of what is brought in when we buy calves. We do not BLAST the cattle with needless drugs but we do regularly feed new cattle a antibiotic supplement for the first few weeks we have them. It helps fervent very sick and DEAD calves. I well remember the days when we did not have the ability to do this. Our death loss was around 3-4%. Now with the regiment we have refined over the last ten years or so it is under 1%. So who is going to pay me for the loss off 75-90 more cattle each year??????
Then you add in that there has been zero scientific proof that these practices have caused any resistance to the human used antibiotics. This is just pure politics' driven by IGNORANT people. The antibiotic soaps and such have PROVEN resistance causes but they get a pass.
