[QUOTE="Ky hills, post: 1401076, member: 24816"] In your defense, one should not have to worry about eye issues in a credible purebred bull sale, it should have been caught and pointed out. In a regular stockyards sale I have seen many times where imperfections like bad eyes and long toes are pointed out in feeder cattle. In our regional commercial bred heifer sales, each heifer is screened for blemishes like scarring in the eyes, and are rejected if they have them. Last fall, I had a heifer that was a little high headed, but had never caused any commotion. I pointed her out at the time of screening, but it was decided that she shouldn't be a problem. The day after the sale, I was contacted by her buyer, she had snapped and went through a fence. I immediately agreed to take her back and refund their money. I really regret letting her in the sale, and the problems that she caused for the folks. I will stick to my first conclusions from now on, and hold out anything that I perceive as a potential issue.
