[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 796492, member: 694"] Pink eye is a fly management problem not a breed problem, it is easier to see on a Hereford, I have had a few case's had it in my Brangus as well. Now the breed was more prone to cancer eye. Breeders have agressively been addressing this over the last twenty years. Again it is not the only breed I have had to get cancer eye. A lot of the sterotypes in cattle came from mismanagement practices of the past. When the Char's got here i wore out a set of chains pulling those pallet headed calves. We didn't even know what an EPD was or a calving ease bull. We were rocket scientist we put those Blocky Chars on 800 pound cows and wondered why they were blowing up. We used not to hay our cows either they had to survive on the salt grass in the winter. I can remember a many a time settin a horse hearing J.D. Wiggins saying boy that old cow ain't going to make it. [/QUOTE]
