Growth Hormones, Steroids – Money vs. Health
Using Growth Hormones, Steroids, is a no-brainer for cattlemen. For an investment of $20 to $30 per animal, a cattleman can net $200 to $300 of additional income by using Growth Hormones, Steroids.

Keep in mind, there is nothing illegal in the Unites States with using Growth Hormones, Steroids, on the animals U.S. consumer eat. Other countries, such as Great Britain, ban the use of Growth Hormones, Steroids, for human consumption; however, in the U.S., the almighty dollar seems to trump health – whether it’s the environment, the energy we produce, or the food we eat.
There is one exception when many cattlemen will not use Growth Hormones, Steroids – this is on the animals they select for their own families to eat! Most cattlemen know that Growth Hormones, Steroids, can cause long term health problems, so they want to protect their loved ones.
