[QUOTE="chevytaHOE5674, post: 1793607, member: 19817"] IGR may not hurt dung Beatles but it stopped all earth worm activity in my manure pies. Without worms and fly larve the birds had no reason to touch the manure and break it down. I honestly had 2 year old manure patties that you could pickup like potatoes chips. I was having to drag pastures to break up the manure as it would actually choke out the grass underneath. Quit using mineral with IGR and once again a manure pie doesn't last more than a few weeks before the bugs and birds have it broke down. No need for any labor to deal with manure on pastures. As for gaining WW when using an IGR, I have noticed zero difference in rate of gain when using fly tags, a pour on, and occasional spraying vs the IGR. [/QUOTE]
