I was checking on my cattle today for the first time in about a week and noticed a lot of flies on them that were not obvious a week ago. We only had about 1/2" of rain early last week but with the warmer temperatures it looks like it was enough to bring out the flies. I hate to see flies all over my cattle. So I put up the first rub across the lane to the waterer and doused it real well with diesel/permectrin mix.
This is much earlier (April 11) than I put it up last couple years which as I recall was late May or June 1.
Are others seeing the same thing - flies earlier than usual?
Here's a picture of the rub. I put up the lightest/easiest one to get something up before dark.
Too early to start the fly season!
