I've got a question relating to one of my new hereford cows but this may not be strictly a hereford issue. I have one cow in this lot whose eyes appear to be more oblong/egg shaped than the others. Rather than appearing round, her eyes tend to stick out more from the socket, appearing as if the...

Just wanted to see if anyone had any opinions on this fella. I agreed to purchase a female this evening that is bred to him.
