the pigment around the eye makes alot of sense. . .i heard my uncles talk about the old longhorns and their pigmentation around the eyes, nose. . . and so i think your right about the pigment problem with those herefords. . . .our old cattle have alot of pigment and as i think about it at least...
thats interesting . . . i wonder if there is a hereford genetic marker that shows that??? just curious. . . and if that, as you say tends to be seen predominately in the hereford genetics? ive heard of only two cases of cancer eye in longhorns. . .both belonging to a friend. . . and i do know...

I can't confirm if jinglebob is wormy or not but as a good irishman i enjoy a shot of good irish creme in the evening for whatever ills I am suffering after a day in the heat. . . . i have noticed that after several shots i really dont care if I am wormy or not. . I dont think that copenhagen...
