We don't want it, full stop. It is potentially risky and is cruel to the animals. It's all about profit and turnaround.I drink organic cow's milk. The growth hormones tend to buildup in milk more because its a secretion of the cow. I would think hormones would be higher here -and the article below tends to support this.
The anti-biotics may be worse, but there is only so much I can afford to pay
I am seriously NOT worried about hormone growth beef= not when I have to pay over $5 lb for grown beef @ <10% fat

common myth surrounding beef produced with additional hormones is that it is unsafe to consume. The fact is that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates the development and use of hormone implants and the Food Safety Inspection Service of the USDA routinely monitors residues of synthetic hormones in meat. It is true that beef from hormone-implanted cattle has increased estrogenic activity compared with non-implanted beef. This fact alone may alarm beef consumers but it must be put into the context of actual amount consumed and the levels found in other products. As shown in Table 1., beef from a non-implanted steer contains .85 units of estrogenic activity per 3 oz. serving, while beef from an implanted steer contains 1.2 units of estrogenic activity in the same serving. However, this amount is a fraction of what is found in many other common foods. For example the same quantity of eggs would provide 94 units of estrogenic activity and a 3 oz. serving of tofu would provide 19,306,004 units of estrogenic activity. In fact, a normal adult male produces 136,000 ng of estrogen per day while a non-pregnant women produces 513,000 ng/day on average, making consumption of the levels of estrogen in implanted beef relatively inconsequential. - See more at: http://igrow.org/livestock/beef/hormones-in-beef-myth-vs.-fact/#sthash.71I6ifWL.dpuf
