Along with Spring and Summer, the heat, the rain and the humidity, come THE FLIES! No matter where you go, they’re there, sticking to you like Velcro and sucking your blood. Did you know that a cow can lose approximatly a half a pound daily because of Horn Flies and Face Flies that not only interfere with feeding (how’d you like to sit down to your dinner table and eat with flies biting you?), but also cause eye irritations and Pink Eye?
Here on the ranch, our caretakers use several different methods for fly control: pour-on, ear tags and oral larvacides. Not too fond of the larvacides, but ear tags can be quite fashionable. I prefer pink, myself. Don’t you?
