I like your setup albeit I would probably just use the horizontal applicator as the diesel should carry the permethrin down to where
it is needed. In fact I am putting your idea on my to do list. Thanks
The side brush is only a brush and does not apply product. It is there for their comfort and enjoyment.
 
We have a heavy (like 5/8 or 3/4" link) log chain hanging between two barn poles. In the spring of will be covered with hair. There's always somebody rubbing on it.
 
Any recommendations on a cattle back scratcher ? Or is there anything I can DIY ? Thanks
I've been looking at the Prarie Phoenix oilers and the Pioneer Coupler oilers. They are a little pricey but look maintenance free. The Prarie Phoenix rep said they work excellent on yearlings and heifers but it's hard to teach a 6 yr old cow that a rope is better than a cedar tree. 😂
 
So, trees as back scratchers come with their own hazards. Few weeks ago, I noticed one of my cows had a stumpy, bloody tail. Figured another cow was probably standing on it when she got up & ripped it off, I treated accordingly.

Well I'll be darned, I found her tail this morning. Evidently, she was scratching her butt or back and ripped it plum off on a limb. Maybe I can glue or sew it back on for aesthetic purposes and to help with flies:unsure:. Bless her heart, she sticks out like a sore thumb with her rat tail & baboon butt.
