[QUOTE="Farminlund, post: 89788, member: 1132"] Mr Crowder & Shorty, Is Rabon the same as Altosid? Both appear to be brand names, so I wouldn't think so. In our area, the mineral mix available with fly control has this ingredient (Altosid-IGR). When you have the Rabon blocks out with the loose minerals, does not one get preference from the cows? Which IMO would result in either a lack of minerals or inadequate fly control. Comments? Apparently this is not the case or you wouldn't do it; just a question as to how both would be consumed equally & in the proper quantities/dosages. Lastly, is there any evidence or concern that the fly control chemical (in either type) could negatively impact breeding/settling rates? I have been fighting pinkeye on & off for the last few years, dispite using fly tags as they seem to effectively control horn fliess but not the face/stable/house flies that obviously spread pinkeye.
