I am trying to figure out which fly tag might help with horse flies. Before, I did not think that they phased them. But I found a chart that tells that there are a few that have control of these nasty creatures. I think God created mosquitoes and horse flies and sends them to he77 to torment those down there. :lol2:
Anyway, here is another chart I found that lists a couple of tags that control horse flies. I want to know if anyone has found this to be true.
I am not as happy with my fly rub as it seems some cows do not want it to touch their back. They will squat and run so fast underneath it, and then I keep lowering it. Then I have the "Antelope Angus that can leap over the top. Some love to just stand under it with the rub on they back and then the others go under the rub as it does not touch. I have one heifer that will not go under it unless she can run along the side of another cow to keep it from touching her.
I am considering a pour on that lasts 7 weeks along with the tags, but I will test these tags all the way first. Look at the bottom of the chart and the tags that list "C or "AC."
What cannot be seen at the bottom of this chart is the legend. Do you see less horse flies or none at all using the bottom two tags? The flies are here now, and it is time to get the tags on them. I was concerned about doing too early as it can cause resistance if they are on too long.
"C-Control(blue), AC-Aids in Control(yellow), NC-No Control"
