Not all feedlots feed their cattle on corn, hormones, antibiotics etc.
That is one of the most sweeping, presumptious, unrealistic statements
I've heard in a long time."

Not unless you are also reading what you write about most topics. What
percent of feedlots don't do as above? What do they feed in place of
corn? One presumes a meat industry fella could answer such a simple
question.

Barley, oats, wheat, triticale, lupins, peas, etc. These are more
commonly used for cattle feed than corn.

Most countries other than the US have strict regulations on the use of
hormones and anti-biotics for cattle used in the food chain. And those
cost money, so any feedlot or producer worth his salt will avoid those
as much as possible. There are other ways to manage cattles health
without using meds.

I am not employed in the meat industry, I just know several producers.
All of them family operations.
