[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 611570, member: 7509"] We do have some summer flies - I use rubs stretched across the waterer entrances with diesel and an insecticide mix. My vet does the cutting, he then sprayed some sort of disinfectant on the cut and let them go. My vet is good - I don't know if there is some trick to the way he does it or not. I left the cut calves and their cows immediately into a particularly green hilltop pasture with very little manure in it at the time. There did not seem to be any fly or infection problem. The cows were licking them clean and in about 10 days the steers were getting around like nothing had happened. Again this is in the north. May not work as well in the south. The key here, as in many things, may be paying attention to details. [/QUOTE]
