To avoid unnecessary suffering for the affected animal, and to protect your economic investment, learn to identify and treat this disease early.

Your management short-falls should not be passed on to others such as auction markets, order buyers or slaughter facilities.

All breeds are at risk, but Cancer Eyeappears most often in white-faced cattle that lack pigment around the eye.
