The Lactating Steers of America: A Modern Miracle of The Science™

Originally published via Armageddon Prose:

For years, smug corporate media twinks, the ones who read teleprompter propaganda for their paymasters in full makeup for a living and can’t rightly condescend to anyone, scoffed condescendingly as — from a place of simultaneous total ignorance of actual biology yet full confidence in the talking points they’d been fed, a combination of attributes unique to such sock-puppets of the ruling class — they ridiculed Alex Jones for claiming that agricultural runoff leaching into the tap water was “turning the freaking frogs gay.”

In reality, unnoted by any of said condescending corporate media twinks because their corporate advertisers would never permit real journalism to break out on the networks they pay good money to control, what Jones was specifically referencing is the well-documented gender-bending properties of the pesticide atrazine, which is ubiquitous in the American water supply and a known endocrine disruptor.

(For ironically scientifically illiterate respecters of The Science™ like John Oliver, Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert, et al., “endocrine disruptor” means “thing that fucks hormones up.”)

Via Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America:

“Atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticide contaminant of ground, surface, and drinking water. Atrazine is also a potent endocrine disruptor that is active at low, ecologically relevant concentrations. Previous studies showed that atrazine adversely affects amphibian larval development. The present study demonstrates the reproductive consequences of atrazine exposure in adult amphibians. Atrazine-exposed males were both demasculinized (chemically castrated) and completely feminized as adults. Ten percent of the exposed genetic males developed into functional females that copulated with unexposed males and produced viable eggs. Atrazine-exposed males suffered from depressed testosterone, decreased breeding gland size, demasculinized/feminized laryngeal development, suppressed mating behavior, reduced spermatogenesis, and decreased fertility.”

So, it seems that “gay frog” might not have gone far enough; what atrazine produces are tranny frogs — “functional females” that have been “completely feminized.”

In a similar vein to the gay frog drama, it seems they might have turned the steers gay, as it were.

Not being a rancher myself, and not being especially gifted in the hard sciences, I’ll go out on a limb and posit that steers, the male counterparts to heifers and cows, as a rule of thumb, aren’t evolutionarily designed to produce milk from their teats.

Yet still, in this, our Brave New World where The Science™ reigns supreme, from those male steer teats milk poureth in bountiful measure.

Via The Epoch Times:

“I was standing beside a row of rocking chairs in North Dakota, looking out over the Badlands at a beautiful sunset, when a man who had heard me speak earlier at the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library started talking to me about cattle.
Then, he asked me whether I knew that male cattle were lactating at the time of slaughter.
No. I did not.
He said the number was somewhere around 20 percent.
I love a good conspiracy theory, but I also raise cattle, and this sounded completely absurd. A steer is a castrated male bovine. A steer does not get pregnant. A steer does not have a calf. A steer does not produce milk…
I’ve raised cattle for years, and if someone had told me that afternoon that researchers were finding milk coming from roughly one out of every six finished steers, I would have thought they were repeating something they saw on the internet that wasn’t true.”

Unfortunately, the 20% lactating steer rate cited by the “conspiracy theorist” on the rocking chair in North Dakota checks out.

In a study referenced in the article above titled “Outcomes of Unintended Consequences: Frequency of Lactation and Intact Males and Their Impact in Finished Cattle,” researchers examined 20,481 specimens, male and female, including castrated males (steers) and non-castrated males (“intact”).

They found that nearly one in five dairy-cross steers — in other words, 20% — were lactating and even discovered four intact specimens (bulls) that were lactating.

Via Plains Nutrition Council:

“Accumulation of excess fat may cause fat cells to produce estrogens (Mattson & Olsson, 2007), potentially initiating lactation without pregnancy (galactorrhea). Intact males divert more energy to muscle production and finish slower, due to endogenous testosterone (Arthaud et al., 1977)…
Cattle (n = 20,481) were audited during harvest, originating from 33 feedlots. All cattle were assessed for lactation. All steers were manually palpated to detect testicles. Carcass outcomes for audited lots were obtained to compare cattle identified as lactating or intact males to the remaining balance of their lots. Frequency data were analyzed via chi-square methods. Mixed models were used to determine the effect of lactation or intact testicles among cattle-type populations regarding carcass performance. Milk samples (n = 120) were taken from dairy-cross heifers (n = 30), native heifers (n = 30), dairy-cross steers (n = 30), and native steers (n = 30) and analyzed for milk composition.
29.68% of cattle (n = 6,078) were identified as lactating. Dairy-cross heifers were lactating at the greatest (P < 0.01) frequency (55.81%), followed by native heifers (28.77%), dairy-cross-steers (19.66%), and native steers (14.55%).”

The obvious follow-up question becomes: How did it come to pass that male cattle with XY chromosomes, even ones that retain their gigantic testicles, are secreting milk, or a milk-like substance, from their tits?

The most plausible culprit for the trannification of American cattle is the cocktail of hormones that ranchers administer to their herds. (90% of American feedlot cattle receive growth hormone implants.)

(Even ranchers who don’t necessarily want to ply their with cattle artificial growth hormones have their hand forced by economic necessity, as not maximizing their growth rate would make them unable to compete with agri-giants and inevitably put them out of business — one might argue, by design. The hormone supplementation is essential to the business design.)

Via Merck Animal Health:

“REVALOR-G (trenbolone acetate and estradiol implants) is for use in pasture cattle (slaughter, stocker, and feeder steers and heifers). Contains 40 mg of trenbolone acetate and 8 mg estradiol per implant…
Cattle implanted with REVALOR-G while on pasture gain an average of an extra 23 lbs. and maintain the added weight during the finishing period.”

There are, for the record, some of the same chemicals dispensed to aspirational trannies with breastfeeding fetishes to induce lactation so they can abuse babies for their personal gratification.
