I recently bought a Shetland cow and heifer, both of which were scanned in calf, to become the corner stone of my breeding herd.
On close inspection when I got home I noticed that the heifer always has a white part of her eye showing. The other eye looks in the same position but the white is a lot duller in colour.
The lady I bought her from is happy to swop for a different heifer and she has also been in touch with Paddy, the Northern area Shetland adviser.
Can anyone advise if I am making a fuss about nothing please? I hope I am, it's just I don't want to start off a herd with a genetic? defect.
Pictures attached.
Any opinions greatly appreciated, many thanks.
