[QUOTE="bevkel, post: 121123, member: 1091"] I really do appreciate hearing all of the differing opinions of the posters. I take exception to one or two comments, but let's just leave that for the time being. For clarification purposes -- Both times that I went to the barn there were other sick or injured animals. Yes, it made me uncomfortable, but I understand the process. I suppose what angered me so much about the blind calf was that I think the animal should have been killed at the ranch or farm. If the owner couldn't afford the medicine, he certainly could afford the bullet. This animal was at the extremis of the disease, and even though the auctioneer was saying it just needed treatment and a dark area for a few days, I'm certain one of the eyes was ruptured - I couldn't get a good enough look at the other side. Yes, someone bought him - but this animal has suffered for many days, and will continue to do so for some time. Another aspect of the pink-eye herd - I wonder if the presence of so many infected animals affected the prices of all the cattle that day. It sure seemed as though prices were a lot lower than ag reports over the past week. [/QUOTE]
