Are the cows ever fed or finished on GMOs or grain? or All Grass/hay fed?

These are always on pasture when wetter permits and in large stables where they are only fed the hay from the same grass. Never ever do they get anything else. NO CORN or GRAIN EVER!

Not GMO, but wheat and other grains in the USA are sprayed with Round Up at time of harvest to yield more seeds and to make harvesting easier for the combines. I only use certified organic anymore.

It is my understanding it is 100% whey protein from grass fed cows. Nothing else is added.

I don't know if the product is derived out of GMO's. Most plant / animal sources are these days,

It doesn't say it on the package, but on their website they do say that they source their gelatin from grass-fed cows in South America.

Hello and thank you for your question. Yes, our probiotic is derived from dairy but it is Non-GMO. We do not agree with GMO products in any way. We hope this answers your concerns.

UPDATE! 04/07/15 NOT hormone free. The Symbiotics website now says this: "We collect colostrum from over 120 different dairies; we cannot and do not regulate how the dairies feed their cows; the USDA does. That said, normal feed includes grain, hay, grass, alfalfa, sometimes soy or corn and other vegetable-based feed to increase energy. The dairies are members of co-ops and the dairies are exclusively USDA Grade A quality."

From the Kerrygold website: The vast majority of an Irish cow's diet is from rich, natural grass which grows abundantly in Ireland. Irish dairy cows graze outdoors on grass all day long for up to 312 days a year. In fact, Irish cows graze outdoors on grass for longer than almost every country in the world. Like so much of what we do, our feeding pattern follows the cycle of nature. During the winter, when grasses stop growing, Irish cows are fed dried grass (known as silage). This grass is grown throughout the year, cut fresh and stored to be used when the winter comes. Cows in Ireland calve in the spring and are therefore outdoors, grazing on green grass when they are producing milk. After calving, cows are provided with supplementary feed to help restore protein and nurture them through this period. The majority of our cows' supplementary feed is locally grown crops such as wheat and barley. As a small island, Ireland does not have enough land available to grow certain crops locally; therefore a number of crops are imported. These imported crops comply fully with strict European and Irish legislative requirements on labeling and traceability. Because our cows live outdoors for most of the year, they are free to roam and graze which is a cow's natural behavior. Although this sounds like common sense, in many milk producing countries cows will spend much of their lives indoors. As a result they do not get to eat the same amount of fresh grass. Our cows produce approximately 5,000 liters per annum. In many countries, cows are intensively farmed and milked. An Irish cow's milk `production' is deliberately much lower than in other countries as the Irish dairy system is less intensive than countries wherein dairy cows are kept indoors, fed grain exclusively and are intensively milked. While this may be less profitable, we believe that it leads to happier cows and better products. We find that what keeps our cows happy also leads to happy customers.

Here is the information I was able to get from the NOW FOODS website: "For example, pure natural vitamin C is produced from corn by only five production facilities in the world. None are in the United States, where GMO corn is all too common. All are from Europe and the Far East, situated in countries that (to date) have restrictions that do not allow GMO food corn to be grown there. Our producers have given us statements to confirm that their corn sources are non-GMO, but the documentation doesn't extend back to the farm level. Testing for GMOs has not found that any is detectable in vitamin C. We have done all that is currently possible to assure that our vitamin C is non-GMO, and continue to monitor the situation to ensure this is maintained in the future." Hope that helps :-)

According to their website Biltong uses organic grass fed beef. biltongsuperstore.com

I doubt it. Usually if something is organic, it is a selling point and they put it on the label. There is nothing on this label but gelatine, and I looked it up. Gelatine need not be organic and come or come from grass-fed cows.

It is normal milk powder. It's just organic so the cows are not given antibiotics or growth hormones. And they are fed a non-GMO organic diet.

Unfortunately yes. All beet sugar is now GMO. I was really upset to hear that all of the beet growers decided that all if their crops would be GMO from now on.

The labeling says it is made from grass fed cows. Its ingredient list is clean and very simple. I have been using this product for several years now and love it.

The label does not specifically say that it is from grass-fed cows. It does say that it is from cows that aren't treated with hormones like rbst and rbgh.

No, this comes from cows who are also fed grain. Here's from the company's website: http://www.bernardjensen.com/7-oz-GELATIN-POWDER--100-BOVINE_p_49.html. Following the cycle of the seasons, a ruminant will pick up grain as it finishes in the fields and pastures nearing fall. Its not something that bothers me but some people do require a grain free diet.

THIS IS NOT GRASS FED BEEF JERKY! Organic means they're feeding them grain(aka corn) and aren't giving them hormones or antibiotics. It's a step in the right direction, but these are not cows that are treated well and allowed to graze on grass. Otherwise it would say grassfed beef.
