[QUOTE="dun, post: 803203, member: 34"] I look at last summer as being a fluke. I really think I caused a lot of the pinkeye problems we had by not clipping the pastures as short as usual. Since we were droughty (no rain for 4 months) I didn;t want to lose that couple of inches of grass so I clipped high and left 10 inch stems (seed stems) that irritated the eyes as they grazed. So, this year we'll do like we have in the past, rotate pastures, have fly wipe mops at the entrance to the water points and use IGR minerals. If we get droughty again I'll clip shorter and just resign myself to having to feed hay during the summer [/QUOTE]
