From the wikipedia page about growth hormones in food
The US Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) requires Monsanto( the cattle company) to state on the labels of every shipment of Posilac (the name of the rBGH hormone), the 21 health problems associated with the use of the hormone. These include cystic ovaries, uterine disorders, - so this goes in the milk we drink..
Hormone injected cows are susceptible to mastitis -- inflammation of the udder. Since a cow with mastitis produces milk with pus in it, something which is not acceptable to dairies (dairies check milk for high somatic cell count i.e. high proportion of pus), farmers give antibiotics to treat the ailing cows. yuk.. anyhow..
