[QUOTE="plumber_greg, post: 803635, member: 9115"] Jim,Don't want to hijack your thread either, but this pinkeye thing is strange. I keep my cow and calf pairs in 3 herds for breeding purposes. All cattle are treated the same, checked the same,everything hte same. Last year I had one herd with 50% pinkeye problems, and none in the rest. The ones with the problem were 2 miles from any other herd. Treated and treated them. Was worried mixing them all together when they were weaned, as some of them had just gotten over it. Never had any problem in hte 90 days I kept them together. I think nutrition may play the biggest role in the problem. The ones with the problem were getting short on pasture and I didn't want to move them, cuz' I was gonna' wean. I saw your pics of your grass, maybe that is helping you. Maybe it's the vacc., maybe it's the fly control, maybe it's the mineral, maybe it's god. What I am saying is just because you don't have a problem now doesn't mean you can't have a train wreck the next year or next week. Just don't do anything different, and do all you can. If you ever get it all figured out, pm me and well go in business. :D Us parttimers need something to keep our habit goin'. [/QUOTE]
