As we transition into spring, it's important to focus on fly control for our cattle herds. Flies can cause a variety of issues for our animals, including reduced weight gain, decreased milk production, and even the spread of disease. By implementing effective fly control measures, we can help keep our herds healthy and thriving.  The most convenient method is a cattle vitamin-mineral supplement containing an IGR because this product eliminates the stress, labor, and expense of handling cattle while allowing the animals to spread the horn fly control as they graze.
