[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 803325, member: 7509"] The question was asked about my bull pictures below: "are they pigmented". As this is not something I have paid much attention to I took a look at my bulls and a few cows this afternoon. Now if there is a large red spot around the eye, some would call "goggle-eyed" I can understand that. However most of my Herefords including bull U070 have just a touch of red hair around the eye. My question is would these be called "pigmented"? How much pigment is needed to be called "pigmented"? Here are two pictures, one a closeup of U070's eye, another of one of my older cows. Would these be called "pigmented" as Knersie described? I'm trying to learn something here.
