Flies to the left of me....flies to the right of me....I am surrounded by flies. This unusually wet weather has them hatching by the millions. I keep spraying my cattle with insect spray and the rain just washes it off. I charge my back rubs and a frog strangler just washes it out. I have been battling this for weeks. I got my first case of pink-eye yesterday in a 5 month old heifer. I haven't had a case of pink-eye in 5 years. But hey......I have all the grass I could want so I am not going to cry too much.
