Dung Beetles

Help Support CattleToday:

If anyone is interested in Dung Beetles let me know.

After a few years without many requests - this past year (for some reason) brought the most requests for scarabs I have had in a long time.
I might be interested in getting some dung beetles to re-establish them around here. May I ask where you are located?
 
I was reading yesterday about dung beetles and their benefits as parasite and fly control, and manure incorporation. When I got home last night I checked cow patties and didn't see any sign of them. Any folks have an option (I realize that is an open invitation) on their benefits. If you don't have them where can you get them, do people sell them, and how many do you need. Can you base the number on x per cow or x per acre?
