[QUOTE="Beefy, post: 109482, member: 57"] blind animals adapt surprisingly well. i had two blind calves in two years a while back (both out of limousin bull which is why i culled his offspring). one was fine and found the teat by himself and everything. would never know he was blind if he didnt bump into fences. the other we had to teach to nurse and he was doing great so we let the pair out and about two weeks later he apparently walked off the dam into a deep part of the pond and drowned. so i guess my point is to be cautious of obstacles like that.
