The Simplest Way to Get Flies OFF My Cows...If It Works!!!

Flies are always an issue with livestock. They can spread disease, slow growth rate, and irritate the animals and people that manage them. I’ve tried numerous chemical treatments to get rid of the flies with varying rates of success and this year I’m trying something totally new! No it’s not an insecticide or some other sort of topical treatment and no it’s not an insect growth regulator. It’s one of the most simple ways to fight flies, let’s just hope it works!!

Hi to Farmer Tyler Ranch and all others too! Great to see you again on that pretty farm. You are a care taker for your lovely family and that pretty farm with those adorable animals that you have brought up from a mighty long way. Everyone Stay Safe . God Bless You.

It's always good to see Buddy. Wonder if his mother knew he was the less promising calf, and that's why she left him behind. At any rate, he looks good, and his size probably makes him easier to deal with.

I'm really looking forward to seeing how those salt blocks work, we have huge issues with the black horned flies and i haven't found a real good way to keep them at bay yet. I'm sure there would be many other ranchers around here that would look in to these as well if they work.

Great idea about the garlic mineral blocks. I love garlic and the steaks from those claves will be infused with garlic, so great idea.👍

[rebeccahert]

Oh, I've missed him so much! Redmond also makes a great salt for cooking... I live close by!

[annebell]

I love seeing Buddy. He's small but perfect in every way 👌👌🌷🌟🌟🌟🌟🌷

I've found that running poultry 2 days behind the cows on pasture is a great sanitation tool, and you get chicken! And eggs. Another thing is encouraging wild birds that feed off of flies by putting up bird houses. Complimentary enterprises!

Definitely going to keep the garlic trick in mind to though.

Can’t wait to see how this works out for you. Take care and have a blessed week.

It was nice seeing Buddy. He's small enough to become a "pocket pet" lol
Good luck with the garlic blocks. I hope they work well enough that you don't have to use spray-on stuff.

Really interesting - never would have thought of that "fix". The chemical treatments just tend to breed a more resistant strain of flies. I know of a seed stock producer that believes there is better than 50% heritability to fly resistance, and breeds his bulls accordingly.

Always So good to have a video from Farmer Rancher Tyler. Man if that works that will be awesome for fly control. We have cows behind us and the flies in the sumner are merciless on them. Especially around their eyes. Your dog is so well behaved. Ok I'm jealous of one
YOUR TEMPERATURE....I'LL TAKE 65. OVER 5.

Sweet Maggie 💕 and Buddy!! Is it me or is he Pretty??! Like seriously Lol awwww give him a pat on the head from us 😊🤩

Small world.... I have been underground in their mine here in Utah to work on one of their excavators. I'm retired now but I'd put that experience on the top 10 of my career. They are a very cool company and super nice people!!

Is there an update about the quality of the fly killing garlic infused salt blocks?

[calvinhakker]

Could you add garlic powder to the protein tub also?

[GrantTravels]

If you bolt on some wood blocks onto the bottom of old mineral barrels you can use them to put salt blocks in and the cows can reach the salt better through your Manger thereby lessening the extra work of packing half used salt blocks out

[birdfeeding]

Keeps vampires away from your cattle too. :) Thanks for informative video!

Oh man, love me some Garlic Beef w/green onions over rice. I'm ALL for these new salt blocks. Could Redmond also custom make a block with ground up chilies, peppercorns and some hoison sauce in LOVE to have some Szechuan Beef right off the hoof!!
