You protect growing cattle with lifelong antibiotic exposure in the feed for going on 3 decades now, it’s bound to have consequences.

My husband raised beef cattle for many years, he only fed the calves medicated feed for 2 weeks after they were weaned because of stress. It was too expensive for life long feeding. What happens in feed lots I don’t know.

Same as with humans. The industry has used too many antibiotics and now they seem to have to, we don’t use antibiotics unless one of them is sick but we do backgrounding not feeding.
