Fly Season

The horrible fly season has arrived with a bang and a buzz.

Its been dry and hot and the flys love it.     The cows and I do not.




Time to get the spray out.

What do you use to combat these pests on your livestock and horses ?

Chime in.

    We use a dusting bag filled with diatomaceous earth. We dust the loafing areas with DE frequently. And we dust them, if the flies get real bad. We use Basic H in the water they drink.

    This in addition to daily rotational pastures and using chickens to a small degree to clean up pests the cows leave behind.
