Fly tags - just watched rare breed farming doc
Supposed to keep the fly’s away
It will stop the flies landing on that section of their ears.

Your man explained that it’s vital and worth trying as flies bothering pregnant cows can cause stress leading to abortion
Wtf did you ask, mate? You watched, they explained.
Won’t the weather wash off what ever chemical is on the plastic in no time?
2.50 a pop
This is apparently a thing! Lasts up to 4 months. There’s a chemical in the tag that keeps the cunts away.

I didn’t believe that those small fly tags actually worked
As an ignoramus ref farming I was actually surprised
And no one on here seemingly didn’t know f all about them

Then again on the antiques roadshow from n of Ireland a guy produced glasses for hens
something learned again

Almost like a yoke @KinvarasPassion would rave about.

Hopefully their elected representatives will do the right thing by them. Yerra……
