To treat inject antibiotic like LA-2000,LA-300,Nuflor,Draxxin etc. And I will spray their eye with Vetricin Pink eye spray as well. In extreme cases I will do the above and put a patch on the eye.

Just keep spreading misinformation since yours are all obviously black and good!
Tdarnen3K, ask a vet sometime how many black cattle get pinkeye. If one has cattle they will eventually deal with it.

Just curious but would this be a good time to let the apologies begin, since the majority of his information was substantiated by a Vet.

You'll often see people using mastitis injections, most of them don't work as well anymore because of milk withdrawal. The active ingredient to look for in the intramammary injections is cloxicillin, it works very well, the other don't do much except washing the eye out. Curaclox Dry Cow is one brand name I knw that still has cloxicillin as active ingredient.
