Greetings,
In discussing adolescence in class, and how today's girls have their first menstration earlier than half a century ago, a student asked what the reasons for this may be. One responded that the hormones injected in cattle might be at play.

Only in a very indirect sense.
It's much more likely that the cause is generally improved nutrition, which has caused an increase in growth rate in general in the industrialized world.
