[QUOTE="dun, post: 113861, member: 34"] Just a couple of observations. Brown hair around the eye isn;t the same thing as pigment around the eye. They can be pigmented and not have brown/red hair around them. I've observed cows that have a break in the pigment and seen flys line up in the pink (none pigmented) part. Flys can/do transmit pinkeye. So keeping a solid pigment ring around the eye is another method of decreasing the incidence of pinkeye. The only cow I've ever personally seen with cancer eye was a solid black. That said, I still like a goggle eyed cow better then a straight white faced one. With those you don;t have to look to make sure they're pigmented. dun [/QUOTE]
