[QUOTE="LizHartley1991, post: 1503785, member: 31466"] Nah. We only call up the vet to look over them if we see extreme trouble like a pink eye infestation or the works. We’ve always been more of a let nature run the race with the cattle. That’s how my grandmother ran it with my grandpa and their family before it. Since I’m taking over soon - scaryyyy lol - I’ll probably be trying to update on the check ups honestly. As for seeing, yeah. I can tell she can see stuff. She can follow me and knows when I have a bottle and she knows where things are like her feed bowl and water buckets. But you can tell she has trouble seeing. Her eyes are constantly watering and she stays tucked away in the shade all the time now (that could be from the rise in warm heat from the sun though but it’s something I still observe with her). I’m concerned mostly because of the heavy eye watering and the fact her eyes even look a little bulgy and the coloring is off (the whites of the eyes - the sclera - is brown/blackish with some small redding. It’s like someone rubbed brown ink in her eyes (best way I can explain it anyway) and it looks painful to me. She may be fine and it’s absolutely nothing. But with her up and down health this whole time, I’m not much on taking chances with it anymore lol. [/QUOTE]
