[QUOTE="SRBeef, post: 540049, member: 7509"] I've had excellent fly controll so far on Herefords (tend to have flies on white eyes) with these rubs hung across a lane to the waterer. Just mix a couple ounces permethrin (sp?) in a gallon of diesel fuel, poor it across the rub and it gives excellent fly control. I added the "flyps" which hang down and get their face as they pass under. Simple external control. More consistent than ocassional manual spraying of animals which can tend to breed resistant flies. Key to success with the rub is placement in a location that cattle will pass through at least once or twice a day. I hate seeing cattle with flies all over. They also said to spend more time grazing and growing when flies are controlled. Less likely to get pinkeye etc. [url=http://www.phwhite.com/]http://www.phwhite.com/[/url] I'll try to add a photo from last summer but have not been successful at adding photos on this site yet.[ATTACH type="full" alt="IMGA0373_cattle oiler_reduced.JPG"]0[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
