[QUOTE="ranchmgr, post: 89841, member: 1700"] Rabon and altosid are way different! Altosid is an " Insect Growth Regulater" ie. "IGR" Moor Mans feed has pushed it and pushed it. They lost the rights to having it exclusively in the late 1990's, that is when it became known to everyone as altosid. Rabon is an insecticide. IGR prevents them from developing. There is alot of research that shows horn flies stay within the herd so you won't be helping your neighbor as much as ya think. The best program for flies for me is a pour-on now, use a pour-on(saber, ultra boss are a couple) that give you some duration 30-42 days they claim, then mid July use an ivermectin pour on product, this give 3 weeks of fly control killing resistant flies, and worms your cows, pour them again in August and your done! The cost is lower then tags, IGR, or Rabon blocks, I believe the whole program cost me about $1.90/head last year and the ivermectin is cheaper this year than last. Tags add a buck per/head if you put in two, for me that is $1500 I can hire a man for a month for that money! [/QUOTE]
