I don't believe meat, either organic or non-organic, has anything to do with temporarily hair loss reported by some women who start the low-carb diet. Some women panic and go off the diet, but I understand the hair will soon grow normally even if one stays on the low-carb diet.

Steers in feed lots do have a "patch" device which release estrogen over time, but the amount is considerably smaller than the normal estrogen found in female cattle. Some female cattle that are barren or have poor milk production are sent to slaughter.

Yes, women have natural testosterone and women who become insulin resistant can have much higher than normal amount of testosterone. One of the signs of insulin resistance is facial hair growth because of this. Sever insulin resistance has been described as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) because the resulting hormone imbalance causes ovarian cysts.
