[QUOTE="TNtrout23, post: 1793497, member: 42637"] So I joined last year with to gather insight on how to help me get the most out of my small herd. 2 things I’m still trying to get figured out is keeping a healthy summer and winter pasture. I know little about grasses other than fertilizing water and sun My other big issue is fly control. I did try the minerals with igr last year with very minimal difference. So I hung up a back rubber which I do think helped but they tore it apart fairly quick and the stuffing was everywhere. I’m almost certain my neighbor has zero fly control on his herd so I’ve read that the igr will not help in those instances. Does anyone have any homemade rubbers that don’t come apart so easily. I understand a cow is a large animal and nothing is going to last forever but maybe y’all have some tricks that I’m not thinking of. The fly bags you get at tractor supply work very well but you gotta have a stomach of steel to get around them after a week or 2 in the summer. They get RANK!! [/QUOTE]
