Cows treated with growth hormone reach market weight faster, which is an advantage for the farmer. A con is that these hormones stay in the meat and are passed on to humans through consumption of the meat.
Genetic technology makes it easier to give cows growth hormones. This is because it is now easier to transfer the hormones.
Cows grow by consuming food, which provides them with the necessary nutrients for growth and development. During the growth process, cows go through different life stages such as calf, heifer, and adult cow. Genetics, diet, and environmental factors all play a role in the growth of cows.
A cow's endocrine system is a system of glands that produce hormones to regulate various bodily functions, such as metabolism, growth, reproduction, and immune response. Key glands involved in a cow's endocrine system include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal glands, and ovaries or testes. Hormones play a crucial role in maintaining the cow's overall health and well-being.
A popular choice for breeding with Angus cows is a Charolais bull. Charolais bulls are known for producing calves with good growth rates and carcass quality, which complements the Angus breed well. Other suitable breeds for crossbreeding with Angus cows include Hereford and Simmental.
According to the related link below, the FAO estimates that there were 26.5 million dairy cows in the world in 2010. The statistic for number of beef cows in the world is more vague, because beef cows are lumped in with the "cattle" category, not individually as female mature bovines.

Omg.. No,dude. No.
Drink lots of milk from cows that have been treated with hormones.
It doesn't. Growth hormones are just that; they are just there to aid in the increase of milk production. Genetic technology is just a means to better select cows and bulls that are more apt to produce calves with better milking ability than themselves. Growth hormones have nothing to do with genetics or reproduction, really.

Commercial grocery store chains usually have milk with growth hormone. If it is not labeled specifying no growth hormone, it probably has it. In the U.S. it is not required to be included on the label even if it is used as many consumers would avoid it if they knew...
"Well, you know that your milk with not contain those dreadful hormones that are usually injected or held by other treated cows. Your body will be healthier since it does not contain these hormones."
Translation: The letter "T" means that the cows treated...* *(presumably with hormones or chemicals)
Breast growth primarily rests with increasing levels of the "sex" (estrogen) and growth hormones. What we eat cannot increase or decrease breast size, unless the cows were fed high levels of hormones before butchering. Men's breasts can increase if affected by cancer.
injecting growth hormones, genetically engineered in bacteria, it goes into dairy cows, it also increases their milk production.
Organic milk means that cows it came from was not given growth hormones or large amounts of antibiotics. The cows should also have been fed non-GMO feed or been allowed to graze on grass.
Very little, if any.
