They also have a pink med that you can put on them and a spray to repel flies.

The cream is swat then the med feed for horses is simplify there a spray for cattle and they have salt blocks for cows that has the fly treatment in it as well. There is ultracruz fly and tick control for cows I never used that one but the horse ones i know work. I was working on a horse ranch and we used that we didn't have any real issues with flies as long as they used it.

We are literally on a mission! We found these cool fly traps on facebook that "the ranch fly trap " is what they are called. Bought 6! Also made homemade fly traps til they come...had fly tapes already up and tried a bug zapper but the animals do not like the sound at all! So we havent used it much!

Cattle seem to like to use those big rubbing things you hang between to posts and saturate with fly ointments.. They look like a huge filled tube sock. There are also some pour ons....like pour on dewormers. Depending on the cattle, pour ons may be hard to work with.

Do you have any fowl? Chickens love to scratch thru manure and they tremendously cut the fly population by doing this.

Purple Python ear tags. 20 to a box for $40. I hang them on my horse’s halters. I cut them in half and zip tie them to my dog collars on the inside. They keep fleas off too. I change them every 2 months. For your cattle you would have to buy the applicator and ear tag the cows. These things work!
