[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1592731, member: 24816"] The scarring does matter in especially in graded sales like the bred heifer sale that we sell in. Regardless of overall quality of the heifer, if it has scarring on the eye it is rejected from the sale. I have seen many groups of feeder calves sell at auction, with one or more individuals with very noticeable scarring and most times it doesn't seem to matter then. The single calves that have much scarring are usually docked significantly. One of the frustrations I have had over the years, is when buying heifers to resell as breds, is to pay a premium price for them, through the ring only to get them home and find that some have scarring on the eyes.
