[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 1043154, member: 637"] The horse flies are horrible right now. The large ones are attached to the backs of the cows and it seems I cannot find the right potion to stop. I have the rubber hanging so low the 4 month old calves can get a full back wipe. The older cows just lift it up and walk slowly under it. They must walk under it each time they come up to get water, as I have it hanging in the gate where they enter the lot. I keep it treated to the point that it starts to run out of the rubber quickly each time I add more, which is every 2-3 days. My mixture is as follows in a 2 gallon gas can: 10 oz Ravap 4oz Permethrin-10 Fill up the rest of the way with diesel fuel and shake it. I pour this on the rub until it drips. Tell me of a better insecticide mix. The cattle refuse to let me spray them, it just makes them run when they see me coming. [/QUOTE]
