Feedlots should not add them to cattle feed and water to promote growth like they currently do but will hopefully soon be unable to..
Jinx you don't buy into the have to have a drug to be normal. I understand why you may have an aversion.
This above is misinformation, antibiotics are not given to promote the growth of an animal. If antibiotics are given at feedlots they are given to combat shipping fever and pneumonia which occurs because young cattle weaned off their mothers are taken by trucks with unrelated animals to an unknown place. Stress is the trigger for most disease.

Becoming too expensive to raise food animals is the goal of the Animal Rights activists. Pretty soon you won't be able to have pets or eat meat. Frightening the public with misinformation and hyperbole is the ARs weapon of choice.
