Spot On. We've a small field beside a wood, pen and crush was beside it so it was a handy "hospital" spot. Had a cow one time with mastitis, would the flies hell leave her alone. Used Spot On and it kept them off her very well.

I was thinking of using Flectron tags on our heifers - they're going up to where it's awkward to deal with them for pour-ons, and the tags are meant to last 4 months. Has anyone used them before? €3 each on Magenta. £2 each on farmrite, but they won't supply them to the ROI :mad:.
