[QUOTE="Warren Allison, post: 1688150, member: 40587"] I don't doubt you at all, just going by my observations for the past 6o years. My next door neighbor growing up, raised registered Herefords and Tenn Walkers all my life, til 1975. I came home from college one weekend in 75, and he had sold out his Herefords, and replaced them with Charolais... the old cow killer, pallet-headed kind that we first had around here. But, I remember him always having some Herefords in his lot by his horse barn, with eye patches and that yellow or blue spray on the. My grandfather always had angus cows, mostly, and we never had a pink eye case. Come to think of it, the few herefords and baldies he'd have from time to time, never did either. Hell, I have had it several times in my life, though! This new client I am helping, is below the gnat line ( around Perry, GA and points south), and they can be brutal! I dread going down there tomorrow.. the Downy dryer sheets help some, but they will still fill your eyes, ears, nose and mouth when you are outside. I think he'd do better with Brahma cows and a Hereford or Black Hereford bull, than the other way around. The bull you mentioned that you traced most of your pinkeye cases to.. was he Hereford or Angus? [/QUOTE]
