[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1836520, member: 25884"] Do your best for her. We had a calf that must have been born 95% blind.... realized it when they were out to pasture that summer... she got around good considering and when we brought her back to the barn with the cows to wean, she got put in a small lot of 1/2 acre or so with another that got pinkeye real bad and went blind even with several treatments... they learned where the trough was, the waterer, the hay... and they got along okay. Were killed for beef. Familiar surroundings will help her along with the other cow to follow... and when she is done with her job, the kindest thing would be hamburger for her. Considering the aforementioned article, I would not keep any of the offspring of any of them..... I think it was a very honest mistake, and anyone can make that sort of mistake. Have we made a few on bought animals... more than I want to think about... buried several.... it's part of it... I don't think it makes you stupid. [/QUOTE]
