[QUOTE="andybob, post: 1598802, member: 2703"] This herd is the Mashona herd run by Jaime Elizondo in Florida, he used a non toxic spray for the hornfly because he has built up the dung beetle population and would rather keep the benefits including less flies with the beetles dispersing the dung. Jaime is available on the regengraze facebook page. (click on the name on the video) We had compulsory spraying and dipping for ticks in Rhodesia which was contrary to my breeding program which relied on the natural resistance to ticks and flies of the native cattle, and rotating daily to break the worm cycles. Our facilities were permanent buildings capable of handling larger numbers of cattle for spraying or dipping with organo phosphate which played havoc with my beetles and tick eating birds, so we experimented with pyrethrum based sprays until we were allowed to stop compulsory dipping.
