[QUOTE="djinwa, post: 844643, member: 8265"] I know it is an issue in the sun. I am assuming that cattle need to go out in the sun. Doesn't seem like the goal should be keeping them in the shade. There are cattle without white eyes. My british white have black eyes - murray grey are pigmented, as are red angus, etc. I find it fascinating that people say color doesn't make any difference. All the articles I posted mention it. The studies on death in feedlots say black cattle died much more than lighter color. I guess you can make black brangus to compensate some, but then you lose performance.
