[QUOTE="Quigly, post: 1234979, member: 21929"] Longrange should give you a substantial decrease in fly numbers, as long as you use it on most of your animals in a pasture and there aren't other cows close by that haven't received it. The product is excreted in the manure and inhibits larval growth in the fecal pat. The product would be most economical when used just in the calves and not the cows, but you probably won't see much fly control in that situation. A few other things to consider with this product. It is not labeled for calves under 3 months of age or breeding bulls, Merial people claim it is safe in these populations but its not on the label so they don't have to stand behind the product if you have problems with these groups. If you are going to do a cow calf pair, cost will probably be around $20 per pair. The producers I talk to believe in the product, and some have numbers to back up their claims. It's a big investment but with these calf prices it should easily pay for itself in most situations. The best cattle to try it on would be some of your animals on pasture that are most susceptible to parasites, usually replacement heifers and first calvers. [/QUOTE]
