[QUOTE="dun, post: 555157, member: 34"] There are tick born diseases, but there isn;t a very practical method of eliminating ALL ticks. A lot ofg ticks on an animal may cause problems very much like a lot of face/horn flys will. A few ticks I don;t think is a real problem. In 1969 we had a place on the CA-Mexican border that had a pick cattle dipping arrangement. The cows where run through and they had to swim a short distance. My understanding at the time that it was because of some kind of tickborn disease. I have no idea how long before we got the place that it had been used. Unless you swim the cows every couple of weeks or so through an arrangement like that I don;t see how you could eliminate ALL the ticks. That all sadi, when I AI a cow and see ticks I'll pick them off, but a couple of days later she'll have a few more. That's the reason I feel a small number of ticks or flys for that matter aren;t a significant problem. [/QUOTE]
