Had better luck this week. Took the crazzy blakie back to the sale last wednesday. Took a little bit of a loss on her, but good riddance.

This week I went back to the sale and found another Red one almost the same size as the other one. After sniffing and head butting each other for5 a few minutes. They both settled down nice.

The darker one is from last week and the lighter one is the new one.

Here is the rented trailer I used. $26 for a half days use. Heck cant buy one for that.

Two ways get the Fly ear tags or get Permectin an spray them down to keep the flies off. I like the permectin cost a lot but will last a long time.
Any Feed store will have both of them.

I seem to recal working alot with my grandfather on this with the Herfords. I remember him painting some greese on thier heads.

When they did have pink eye. I remember him putting some thing in thier eye then covering them up with a black patch that he glued on. Looked like a bunch of pirate cattle :-)

Nice looking calves. I always liked Herfords, but they seem to be highly prone to cancer eye when they get older. It seems as though I have to sell off my Herford cows because of this before their bags get bad, etc. Now I have been cross breeding them, and keeping the heifers with out the white faces, and have never had a case of cancer eye in those with colored faces.

M Nut,

Hang a fly bag where the calves will be walking and that will help stop the fly cancer.

I know the flies have something to do with it, but the vet told me it is more of a problem that their skin is light colored around their eyes and the sun (solar) light is what is causing most of my problems. Basically skin cancer of the eyelid. I think he is on to something, becasue I always treat pinkeye, but with some the eye itself is fine, it is the eyelid that gets a growth on it and it spreads quickly after that.
