[QUOTE="Lucky_P, post: 1043811, member: 12607"] Lenticular opacity - essentially a cataract. A number of potential causes - including BVD - but BVD-persistently-infected animals don't have ulcers or diarrhea, at least not until they contract (or their own infecting virus mutates to) a cytopathic strain of BVD virus. Guess I'd still recommend testing to make sure she's not a BVD-PI calf. Had a heifer, 30 years ago, rejected by her first-calf dam, that had bilateral cataracts. So far as I could ascertain, she could see just fine, for a cow. She probably would have had difficulty driving at night(LOL), but that was never a problem . [/QUOTE]
