Notably Natural: Oak Cattle Farms in NC
Although our cattle farms in NC are fully free of added hormones, many farms in the state use these growth aids in their cattle.
At our cattle farms in NC, we understand that it’s a fast-paced world. Consumers often don't think twice about the meat they’re purchasing, so long as it’s affordable. Beef raised without added hormones is often touted as too expensive, and with many organic prices reaching as high as double that of their non-organic counterparts, they’re usually right. At Oak Cattle Farms, we believe that it's important to offer added hormone and mRNA-free meat to our customers at an affordable price. Let’s talk about why natural meat like our half cow for sale, may be the best meat.
Added Hormones and Cattle
Although our cattle farms in NC are fully free of added hormones, many farms in the state use these growth aids in their cattle. These additional hormones, such as estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, are commonly administered to livestock to promote growth and increase meat production efficiency. The hormones work by increasing cattle appetite and accelerating the conversion of feed into muscle mass, resulting in larger animals with more meat. The use of added hormones in meat production has been a common practice for decades and is intended to help farmers produce more meat with fewer resources.
Possible Health Effects of Added Hormones and Cattle
While added hormones have in fact increased cattle production for many cattle farms in NC, this advancement hasn’t come without its setbacks. Added hormones in meat, especially beef, have been linked to a variety of negative health effects in humans. For example, some studies have suggested that consuming meat that contains these added hormones can lead to an increased risk of cancers, particularly breast cancer. Although these studies suggest a correlation, it still remains unclear whether or not hormones are truly the culprit. However, this uncertainty has understandably concerned many families in America, leading to a rise in demand for products like our grass fed beef half cow.
mRNA and Cattle
mRNA vaccines, also known as messenger RNA vaccines, have been a hot topic of discussion recently due to their use in the COVID-19 vaccines. However, there has been some experimentation with mRNA vaccines for cattle. While only experimental and not licensed for use in cattle, there have been accusations that commercial cattle in beef farms in the US were being treated with an mRNA vaccine. At our cattle farms in NC we believe in a natural approach to raising our cattle and do not use experimental mRNA vaccines on our animals.
