We do NOT use mRNA Vaccines on our Livestock

Before I start this email I want to thank you, our customers.

Thank you for being an informed consumer.

Thank you for caring about your health.

Thank you for caring about your food. 

This is why we are here, because of people like you who take the time to learn and refuse to accept standard conventional food; even though it is advertised as a cheap way to get fed. You know better.

Recently, there have been a lot of questions surrounding the mRNA vaccine in the livestock industry. This has many of our customers rightfully concerned and we are glad you are not afraid to ask the question. 

To be clear: We are NOT using mRNA vaccines on our livestock. PERIOD.

At this time mRNA vaccines aren't even available for cattle. It is possible they are available for the pork industry. But, remember, those who are quick to adopt new pharmaceutical advances are typically large confinement operations, because they are trying to fight new diseases that immerge in the confinement industry. We are open range.

Are we incredibly wary of new things coming from the pharmaceutical industry? You bet! 

Is everything that the pharmaceutical industry producing terrible? No. 

In fact there are several vaccines in the cattle industry that have been around for 60 years plus that have been proven to be very effective against certain diseases, such as blackleg vaccine (a tetanus-like disease). They have also given us life-saving antibiotics. 

But, all medicine has a double edge sword: antibiotics were originally used to save an animal that was on the verge of death, but now in many confinement operations antibiotics are given in small doses, all of the time, with the theory of ensuring that these animals never get sick. So, what once was a medicine used in dire circumstances is now abused.

As stewards of our animals we are faced with risk decisions every day, and very few of these decisions are black and white. But, we pray for guidance and wisdom to make sure we make the correct decisions for the health of our animals and the people who consume them.

We personally would never want to use anything on our cattle that does not have a long-time track record of proven safety and effectiveness. We can firmly say we would not use any vaccines or medicines that have any chance of adversely affecting the health of our cattle, our customers, or our family. This means we will NOT use mRNA vaccines for our cattle when they come out!

Once again, thank you for trusting us to provide your family with Meat You Can Trust.
