[QUOTE="jkwilson, post: 685606, member: 969"] Mine have to walk under a rub to get water. When I first installed it, I put it up high enough that they didn't touch it going under. Some were still hesitant to go under, but they got used to it. I lowered it about 6 inches at a time, feeding them by the water tank every time to make sure they'd all go under it. Now it drapes over the cows backs, and some of them will stop and rub around under it. This year I was having pretty bad fly problems in June. I ran all the cows through the chute and used Saber Pour-On. Worked so well that I ran them through again on the 4th of July and gave them another dose. It is supposed to be effective for 2 weeks. Really seems to hammer the horn flies and all the big flies that bite them on the back. Face flies are still there, but total fly load is still way down a month later. I've tried the IGR minerals and fly predators without much luck. I have a neighbor about a quarter mile from me who doesn't use any fly control or medication at all on his cattle, so insecticides on the cattle is probably my best option. I keep the rub up and charged year round. [/QUOTE]
