[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 768980, member: 7509"] This is a tough year for flies and thistles. The rubs strung across a lane to the waterer is working well, just have to keep it doused well. For thistles the best thing I've found is to mow right after rotating the cows out of a paddock. My cattle eat everything but the thistle so its standing tall and about to flower/seed. If you can get it then it can be kept under control - but not eliminated since my neighbor seems to be running a thistle seed farm along with his horses. I'm still looking for burlap bags to hang from my rubs but for now the flypps they sell are working ok on their sides. The cows seem to know that the rub helps and come over and do a little dance under it to get more on where needed. jmho. Jim [/QUOTE]
