[QUOTE="marksmu, post: 658589, member: 9219"] Every cow we have is kicking themselves trying to get mosquitoes off. They are kicking, they are swatting with their tails, they are throwing their head back, and they are rubbing on everything we own to get these suckers off them. There may be a fly or two on them, but what your seeing in the pics are swarms of mosquitoes. You step out of the truck, and you would not believe how many we have right now and how big they are. The county crop dusted with some mosquito spray yesterday evening, so hopefully they will start dying off soon. My neighbors herd broke through the fences on Friday trying to flee the mosquitos....at least that is what they are telling everyone. The cows are getting swarmed so badly right now, they are just constantly walking trying to get away from them, and they end up just walking in circles all day, and not eating enough. His cows allegedly, just walked on through the fence out of frustration and ended up laying in the road. Of course being new to cattle, everyone thought they were our cows, and called us to come pin them back up - but when we arrived, they were not ours. Im guessin we just have to earn a bit of respect in the area by showin everyone we do indeed have ours pinned up - but it was a great excuse to get out of the office early Friday. :) [/QUOTE]
