flies! (oh bother) Now, I know that flies go with livestock.. our chickens have long been an attractant to the bothersome insects..

but now they're on my cows and I dont like it! LOL

what do I or should I put on the cows or do for them to keep the flies at bay?

You can buy some fly powder at the feed store, but it doesn't help a lot. Its just one of those things they have to contend with. My chickens are free range so they help with the flies. Once it warms up a little I mix up a commercial spray and spray them down a couple of times a week, that helps some.
