[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 16573"] We spray our Longhorns with a hand-held pump-up sprayer using Pyrethrin insecticide. Spray them while they are eating flakes of alfalfa or at the feed trough. Can usually spray 2-3 seconds before they move away, but quickly come back to eating. Takes several shots at spraying on each one; however, they tolerate it well.... Very carefully, using medium coarse spray, spray their poll/horn areaa when they are still, along with topside, sides, feet/legs, underside if needed. Keep spray away from eyes, muzzle, reproductive organs, anal area. We also use this spray around our premises and around house and our dogs. This is a botanically derived insecticide which is considered "safe" for most animals. Check your label for precautions and dosage mixing with water. We also use the "SweetLix" molasses mineral blocks with Rabon insecticide which works on fly development in the manure droppings. There are several formulations of this product...check for the correct one to use on your cattle...think one of their formulations is safe for horses too...again, check labels carefully. Backrubbers seem to only be effective if the cattle have no other way to travel except under the rubber. Calves often get missed and will also go under the attachment points of rubber which is higher. [email=bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com]bill@runningarrowlonghorns.com[/email] [/QUOTE]
