The health and well-being of animals comes first on the farm

This brings me to my big thought. One of the most discussed issues in animal agriculture today is the use of antibiotics. The concern being that they are being overused, unmonitored and dumped into the food chain. It made me pause and consider that maybe it is important to reiterate the process we take in treating sick cattle and the rules we are required to follow. First, we do not treat animals unless they are sick and require a prescribed antibiotic that is recommended by our veterinarian.Second, once administered, the animal is monitored closely and only give additional treatment if they are not getting better.
