@catchhester23…Everyone should have a say in the food production that goes into their and their children’s mouth. Big AG should not have ultimate control because all they care about is their bottom-line! Do you actually think that Big AG is going to adhear to the withdraw rates when profits are at stake? Doubt it…look at all the e-coli outbreaks.

Hobby farmers should have no say with these kind of regulations, have enough as it is. Farmers that do this for a living are the ones that should be heard. And would image very few support this! On every antibiotic in animal feed there is a withdraw period. which means you can’t slaughter any animals with it in there system. So there is no reason for this law. Just like the NFL farming is about making money and confinement animals are easier to raise and maximize profits.

Cool. As a steak eater, I like grass fed beef better than grain fed. And with less antibiotics to boot? I’m in!
