Here's one of the conventionally raised steers staring me down from the doorway of the barn.

Ivan is renting barn space and taking care of these cows for another rancher. They are raised on a feed lot in a traditional grain diet.

One of the major downsides of grain-fed cattle is that they have to be fed antibiotics to fend off infection from the sores caused by the food they eat. Ivan is nursing these two immuno-compromised steers back to health.
