BEEF AND PLANT HORMONES
Hormone Levels in Beef

We hope to provide you with many little known facts about beef in this section. All plant life and animals produce detectable hormones. For example, some plants are a much greater source of the hormone estrogen than beef. You will learn that a serving of the cabbage plant has 1000 times as much estrogen than a serving of beef from a steer that has received an estrogen implant. We explain the truths about growth hormones and promotant issues. You will find the reasons are quite different than you might expect. The real issues surrounding the EU (European Union) ban of U.S. beef are discussed. Maverick Ranch rewards producers for using genetic superiority rather than growth promotants. Maverick Ranch tests all beef for both synthetic and normal hormone levels. The reasons will surprise you: 1. To catch human error 2. To eliminate “non natural occurring” residues 3. To help improve eating quality 4. To eliminate cattle that have been altered due to the influence of unknown pesticides and other environmental endocrine distrupters.
