Hello Prodigydiscus,
In Australia, it is most unlikely you will have to worry about hormone fed cattle. I haven't sold any for a while but when you are selling as far as I know you still have to fill out a declaration that they have not been given numerous things, including hormones. Don't know about the feedlot cattle, although I suspect that they would not have hormones either. (very different to the chickens you buy and the eggs you may eat from poor battery hens!) I certainly buy organic when I can, grow some veggies, we have our own cattle killed for eating - no pesticides on my property, living in the middle of large commercial farms growing potatoes and running sheep and cattle I see what chemicals/pesticides are poured into the soil ( the farmer on the opposite hill from us had a cropduster spraying 200 hundred acres for four hours last weekend, some of which was only to defoliate the crops for easier harvesting and which could have been slashed with a tractor).

Thanks for the feedback Lesley!
Thats crazy !!! spraying just to defoliate!
You are most likely right about there bieng no hormones bieng in cattle but they would diffenetly pick up cheicals along the way some how in those larger cattle stations!
Do you save the heart from your slaughter and feed it to your fish?
Fresh is best! lol
cheers,
Ben
