    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    Hope the Garlic has some effect on your fly problem. Looking forward to hearing what you think over the next few months. I made a salt station on pipe skids that has a tin roof over it to keep the salt protected from the weather, and I hung a cattle oiler over the entrance to it so the cows have to pass under it to access the salt. Works pretty good but the oiler is to high to help with the flies on the calves.

    I grew up not far from Redmond Salt company here in Utah and can say that they are very nice people to deal with. Their salt products are nationwide and maybe even world wide by now. We always used their salt blocks on our farm. Hopefully this new product with garlic in it works for you and helps with the flies which are always a nuisance.

  • @joewrosenthal00
    @joewrosenthal00 4 роки тому +1

    Flies spend the winter in diapause, a hibernation-like state of reduced metabolic activity. Out in the open, they prefer trees, hence your observation.
    However, they tend to prefer dung as a site for depositing their eggs. The eggs produce larvae, commonly known as maggots. The maggots eventually create cocoons, which in turn, when temperatures warm up produce those pesky flies.

    Good girl Maggie, stayed in the truck when she really wanted to scavenge. Why to the winter pasture cows get a protein grub and the home cows don’t? Really interesting that the winter pasture has the first hit of flies, wonder if they “winter” in the hollows or holes of the oak trees? Loved the geese flying, thanks for sharing. Good luck with the garlic blocks will be great if it even cuts the fly problem in half.

    • @farmertylerranch4399
      @farmertylerranch4399  4 роки тому +1

      The ranch cows exist solely on hay which has sufficient protein for them. The winter pasture cows live on that same hay plus grass. This time of year the grass has low nutrition value so the tubs make up the difference. When we get a lot of sun and warmer days the grass quality will improve greatly and they won’t need the tubs anymore
