I would assume with only 100 head that ranching was more of a hobby or you had other sources of income. Larger farms need to make a profit. They use hormones to regulate reproduction among their herds. There is no proof that these hormones cause any harm to humans. I am not sure on the exact numbers, but I know that a professor in ANIMAL SCIENCE told me that the amount of hormones is thousands, if not millions times smaller than the amount of hormones we actually have in our bodies.

I am not vegan and I stay away from meat/dairy sources that are not organic. I don't want gentically engineered meat and milk, pumped up with growth hormone drugs (like rbGH and growth factor I) and antibiotics. It is not just vegan hype.
