[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 238614, member: 3162"] Read the label on your chemicals. They are pretty lengthy but you'll find which ones you can use on your calves. Go to the feed store and read labels on what's available. Flies are worse than "bad", they are awful this year. I am using one of those pump up sprayers and alternating sprays about every two weeks, running the cows through the chute. Rotating pasture has really helped more than anything. I have now gone 4 weeks without spraying and the flies are not bad at this point. However, if they return as bad as they were, I am prepared. There are cows (ranches) on all sides of me that don't get treated as often as mine. That doesn't help with curbing flies. [/QUOTE]
