Sometimes I do things and wonder exactly what the reasoning is. I’ve always done it that way, that’s why! Two weeks ago I weaned calves and had several with pinkeye. We still had some flies then.
Like I’ve always done, when I was graining them later that day I poured a fistful of table salt in my hand and threw it in each offending eye. Two days later everyone was cleared up.
