[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 561665, member: 7509"] As I see it, the rub and flyps (hanging cloths to get some insecticide on the face area and near the eyes) don't apply large amounts of diesel or insecticide. That is the beauty of the rubs. Light but repeated application. What is applied by the rub seems to be going mostly on the hair. The rub doesn't really seem wet with diesel. There may be some concern if you are actually spraying large quantities of diesel/insecticide mix directly onto the animals. However I doubt the rub loaded with 1 gal of diesel every couple weeks during the summer distributed over the entire herd, much of which lands on the ground when loading or evaporates, affects the taste of the meat. About like applying suntan lotion at the pool - or less. Here is a photo of my rub across the entrance to the waterer from last summer. The cow is not appreciably covered with diesel![ATTACH type="full" alt="IMGA0380_reduced_rub w fylps.JPG"]0[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
