Can anyone recommend an effective fly treatment for my poor cows.
I have a Mole Valley Farmer or Wynnstay near me or I can buy online.
It is so easy with the sheep, buy the Clik and it deters flies so effectively but nothing I have tried seems to work with the cows.
Contemplating Spot-on next but not sure if that is any better than what I have previously used.
I have tried Battles fly repellent, Fly-pour, garlic bucket and even Naff off which is a fly spray for horses.
Would love to hear what you are personally use thats effective for you.
Thanks
Steph

Spot-On works.
I hate having to use it because of the environmental impact, but if you can't provide the cows with a habitat / shelter so that they can tolerate the flies then their welfare needs to come first.
