Fly control on cattle was an issue in the county last year with herds experiencing a high level of pinkeye. This year, an article was run in the local newspaper on the major fly pests on cattle, emphasizing that good fly control begins early. An additional article with pictures was included in the agricultural newsletter. The article focused on a home-built slant-rope oiler and mineral feeder for fly control from the Trigg County ANR Agent. Subsequently, one farmer has purchased four of these oilers and reported that his flies were under good control. A second farmer is using LongRange and has good fly control thus far.
