Joe,
Poultry, kelp, diversified forage, and a rotational grazing program in
that order. Chickens following the cows will eat the fly larvae preventing
development of adult flies. Kelp appears to increase their immunity to fly
born diseases such as pink eye. Forbes in the pasture may have natural
insect repellents. A rotational grazing plan keeps the cows ahead of the
fly lifecycle. There may be some other more costly methods, but this works
for us.
