[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 33716"] Our family has been breeding around 300 black angus cows since the late 40's. Not one pink eye through the years. If conditions have something to do with it ???? We run on shortgrass, no trees-bald prairie, land carrying capacity roughly 90 pair on 5 sections for 5 to 6 mths depending on seasonal conditions. Cows are not wintered on bunks, fed on the ground with baled greenfeed and dryland hay with full time access to grain chaff. Perhaps field concentration is a factor as well as how bad the flies are? Different factors for each program. Have seen herds of different breeds with varying numbers of pink eye. We prefer the angus for a number of reasons and they do work efficiently for us in our region and our program. There are quality cattle in every breed ! [/QUOTE]
