Face Fly Controls Lacking In Kansas Pastures
Pinkeye rises among pastured calves as face fly populations surge across eastern Kansas. Kansas State entomologist Don Mack says two insecticidal eartags provide only about 70 percent control and warns fresh tags work best. Alternatives include whole body sprays, spot face applications, face mops, and dusters, with use timing tied to daily access to salt and water. Weather and early wheat grazing planning also factor into fall grazing, with recommendations to boost seeding rates and Fertilizer for successful winter wheat pastures and to manage grazing to protect yields.
