Spring Creek Ranch in Alberta is buying cattle from signed up producers and marketing Natural/antibiotic and hormone free beef. Great concept and it seems to be working. http://springcreek.ca/

Is the producer suppling these cattle for them getting enough of a reward?

From what I have seen the producer takes his cattle to the auction and contacts Spring creek that they have consigned and the auction keeps them separate. Up here in Canada many of our calf sales are presorted into larger lots. Typically the liner load lots bring the premium so the Spring creek buyer is bidding generally on smaller lots unless the produce has liner loads of his own calves.
So is the only "Premium" one bid over what the order buyers are paying?

Is that enough to forgo the use antibiotics and ionaphores ect?
