[QUOTE="Kell-inKY, post: 1309380, member: 23511"] What about eye cancer and pink eye? Is that kind of an old wive's tail or is it true that Hereford are much more prone to that? My Dad told me this before buying any cattle and it sure does seem like most pics I see of eye cancer are Hereford, plus I hear of a lot of pink eye problems in my area with a few people saying they no longer raise anything [i]but[/i] black Angus due to it? Just curious. I passed up buying a few awesome Red Angus my uncle had, I may still go get a few, they were certainly every bit as good looking as his black, my wife seems to think we would have a harder time marketing them as freezer beef (that black angus marketing thing must be working, at least on her).
