[QUOTE="Dan-DK Farms, post: 1748951, member: 39960"] I have been told to try putting out a load ‘dirty base’ gravel. The belief Is that the cattle will rub their faces in it, transferring lime dust that the flies don’t like. Has anybody tried using ‘dirty base’? I have been down the path of sprays, rubs, and pour-ons. Yes, I vaccinate for my local area specific pinkeye strain but some still get it. Cash buyers are looking for any reason mark down a calf. A glass eye will cost you money. They are even marking down for frostbite on the tips of the ears of which I have had a few instances. I am moving my calving season to a couple of weeks later in the year. [/QUOTE]
