I am looking to purchase a few feeder calves, to slaughter in a couple of months, found three locally, on a farm for sale, they are all blind though, having had pink eye. He wants 300 apiece for them, they are about 400 pound steers.
I have a small corral to keep and feed them in, till slaughter, but I have no idea if they would be good to slaughter, would it be safe to eat the meat?
Could anyone help or at least tell me that it would be a really bad idea...find better ones.
Thank you very much, I grew up on a farm, in my youth, we lost it in the economic downturn of the 80's, we had several hundred head of cattle, even though it has been 40 years, I have had experience with handling them, etc. But we never had any blind cattle, that I can remember, we always treated them immediately if pink eye occurred, and it always cleared up.
Again thank you
