What you need to know about mRNA Vaccines and our Livestock

Vaccines and livestock have become a huge issue lately. It has come to light that mRNA “vaccines” (which aren’t vaccines) have been used in the pork and poultry industry for several years and trials are currently underway in the beef industry as well.

First, let us discuss how we got to this point.  

Over the years, as confinement animal operations got larger and more intense, animal health declined. Animals were locked away in buildings away from fresh air, space, and natural light.  Diseases were easily transmissible in cramped cages.  The need for antibiotics increased and were used as a regular practice instead of as needed.   I visited a confinement layer operation and the operator was dumping 50-pound bags of antibiotics into the feed as it was unloaded.  When asked, he said that the chickens had no particular sickness, but subclinical antibiotics were the only way he could keep egg production at a level where he could pay his bills.  

These antibiotics and resistant pathogens eventually passed on to the people who consumed the animal products.  There was an outcry and a concentrated effort to limit antibiotics in the food chain.  Now common sense would dictate that decentralizing animal production and putting animals in a healthier environment would achieve this goal.  However, as society is apt to do, we refused to admit our mistakes and instead looked for a technological solution to the problem we created. 

 Enter mRNA.

Without getting too technical, mRNA “technology”  is not a vaccine, it is genetic manipulation. The synthetic spike protein used to “teach cells to fight disease” is very persistent and travels all over the body. As we saw with the Covid shots, pathogens adapt quickly requiring multiple boosters to try to stay ahead of disease. European studies cited by Peter McCullough show that this same mRNA never clears the body and is transmissible in meat to humans and survives digestion.  Additionally, no one knows what the long-term effects of altered genes will be to either animal or human health.

We are just beginning to see a legislative battle over how this will be regulated.  The Missouri House of Representatives introduced a bill requiring gene-altering products to be labeled as such.  The National Cattlemen's Beef Association (which Merck is a primary sponsor of) and other Big Ag groups are pushing back to keep it off the label.  ‘Conditional licenses' for swine flu and avian influenza have already been granted by the FDA and industry-wide trials in beef are underway. Contrary to what is being implied, mRNA-treated poultry, pork, and now beef are already in the food supply!

So how can you know your food is free from mRNA contamination?

By knowing who grows it!

As stewards of the health of the land, animals, and the families we feed,  Red Hill Harvest rejects all mRNA usage.  Safe or not, we simply don’t need it.

 We harness the sun’s energy through the chlorophyll in plants to keep our soils healthy. Massive amounts of carbon are stored in the soil and create an ideal environment for the soil’s biome to flourish.  That makes the healthiest possible food and forages.  Our animals eat that feed and along with more sunshine and fresh air produce the healthiest, tastiest, mRNA-free meat and eggs you will find anywhere.

Are Antibiotics in Meat Harming Your Health?

Antibiotics have been used in commercial farming since 1948, but at what cost? While they help animals grow faster, they also raise serious concerns about antibiotic resistance, meat quality, and long-term health effects. Many conventional farms routinely give antibiotics to livestock, leaving trace residues in the meat we eat. But there’s a better way. At Red Hill Harvest, we take a different approach—raising animals on pasture, prioritizing their health naturally, and ensuring our meat is free from unnecessary antibiotics. Learn why choosing antibiotic-free meat matters for your health, the environment, and the quality of your food. Read on to uncover the truth.

February 22, 2025: Price Increase

As you can see from the title, we are raising our prices. This decision was challenging and carefully considered over the past three months. As I’ve mentioned before, one of our core values is transparency, and part of this value involves being upfront about matters we find difficult to share. Here’s what you need to know - Beginning next Saturday, February 22nd, we will implement an average price increase of 23% on all our Grass-fed Beef products. Some cuts of beef will significantly increase, while others will experience minor or no changes. What brings on this price increase? Butchering Cost - As you probably know, most companies' labor costs have increased dramatically over the past few years. Butchering is a very labor-intensive task, and the price of that labor is high, especially for the local, family-owned butcher shops that we choose to support. Packaging - In late spring of 2024, we paid $20 per insulated cooler. In 2025, we are paying almost $23 per insulated cooler, a 14% increase in just 10 months. Cattle Prices -  This is the most significant price change and the largest driver of the price increase. This humongous price leap is primarily due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In the summer of 2020, many processing facilities closed for a few months. This simple shutdown risked overloading the delicate system with an unmanageable number of cattle. Ranchers saw this and quickly culled their herds and stopped breeding more animals. Alongside a drought in the West, the US Beef Herd is the smallest it's been since 1951. Since raising a cow from calf to finish weight takes almost three years, we have yet to see the numbers return. The unbalance of supply and demand has caused our replacement cattle prices to skyrocket to record numbers. For instance, in 2020, cattle feeder prices were around $1.08/lb. (These are 500# animals brought to our farm for us to take to finish weight) Now, in 2025, the price is $2.68/lb—quite a significant increase. How you can save There are still plenty of ways to save. First, we will postpone all price increases until next Saturday. This way, you can stock up on our Grass-fed Beef at its current price. Bulk Bundles - We will still offer bulk bundles crafted to save us money because of packing efficiencies and overstocked items. As you are a valued partner of our farm, we will continue to pass these savings on to you. Sales - Stay alert for sales and offerings throughout the year. We have a sale planned for almost every month! Refer a friend - We want you to share our products with the world! Use this link to refer friends and get $20 in-store credit when they place their first order!  We truly do appreciate your support of our farm. If you have any questions about this price increase, please do not hesitate to contact us! We pride ourselves on providing your family with delicious, healthy, and, most importantly, trustworthy food, and we would love to continue to do so for many years to come!
