[QUOTE="Chuckie, post: 139823, member: 637"] Dean, the next shelter I build will be with smaller doors just so that I can decrease the amonut of light that comes in. Seems the horseflies do not like darkness and will not chew on cows when light is limited. We have an old barn that is dark inside and when I go looking for the cattle, I cannot see them inside the barn unless they come closer to the door. They will stand there in the heat of the day and chew their cuds while the horseflies find other animals to chew on. I think a squirrel cage fan rigged to run across their backs will also keep the floors dry and also helps to rid the flies since they like still air. [/QUOTE]
