Depending on the situation, i.e. pasture, rotational grazing, drylot, etc., there are different ways of dealing with flys but they all boil down pretty much to sanitation and making the cows uninviting to the flys. Direct spraying of the cattle with pesticides, rubs, mops, dust bags, pour ons are all secondarey controls. Eliminating the breeding/larval host locations are the primary controls. IGR in the minerals controls the larval situation, eliminating wet areas will help with the breeding environment depending on the particualr fly. If a dry lot, composting the manure will help with both.
