[QUOTE="creekdrive, post: 1349995, member: 21216"] Thank you! They don't have quite the luxuries your cows have, but they don't exactly have to rough it either. We are in East Central Alberta (about 2 hours South East of Edmonton if that helps). Technically from Sedgewick, but there is 6 small towns/villages all within a 25 minute drive. I didn't notice until you mentioned it, but you are right there is no flies in any of those pictures. They are here, although I'm sure they are nowhere near as bad as what a lot of you have to deal with. All they get for fly control is a dose of ivomec pour on before we haul them out to pasture. Sometimes if the flies are particularly bad we will spray them with a fly spray mid-summer. The mosquitos are worse than the flies this year.
