Herd wellness! Haluch’s flyspray is keeping our herd happy and bug free. 🦆🐪🐎🐖🐄🦌

The blue bottle has some awesome benefits. It contains rosemary oil, cedar oil, wintergreen oil, peppermint oil and more.

Did you know rosemary oil stimulates hair growth, has anti-inflammatory properties, and can help reduce stress?

Cedar oil is great for cleansing the skin and removing dandruff from the coat.

Wintergreen also helps with alot of skin conditions.

Peppermint oil can help reduce itchy skin and sooth irritation plus is a natural SPF!!

All of these amazing properties help deter bighting bugs as the added benefit.

Let's moooo talk!
I feel like cattle get a bad reputation of being dirty, fence destroying, mud creating, unintelligent animals. These misconceptions come from lack of maintenance and training on the human caretakers side. Cattle were one of the first domestic animals. Back in the day people who could not afford a horse had cattle. With training cattle can pull carts, plow fields, and be ridden. Let's discuss a few points.

1) They are dirty: eh...not wrong here. They can be dirty. They will p**p wherever they are. They don't just go in a favorite spot. Their manure is called cow patties as it resembles thick pancake batter. If you treat them like you would your other animals and do paddock clean up. They become no more dirty than a horse. You can also rake your fields as cow manure is free fertilizer! It won't kill your field like horse manure/urine will. Funfact. Horses actually cause soil PH levels to rise. Our moos are always super clean as we groom them daily! They LOVE to be groomed. They will cuddle with you while you brush them. It actually puts them into a trance.

2) Fence destroying: you will run into this issue with heifers, cows, and bulls. They are hormone driven. They are food and procreating fuled. This is where there is a huge advantage to owning a steer (or freemartin). As long as you never under feed them they will not be hormone driven and will hang out in your pasture like the big grass puppies that they are!

3) Mud creating: cattle do not create mud anymore than your horse will. Mud is created through lack of attention to detail and poor drainage. Maintaining a clean field and drainage is the priority of most farms. Clean manure and rake up uneaten hay. Don't leave it to fester and create mud. Our moo friends do not create anymore mud than our horses.

4) Unintelligent: they are smarter than you think. They can learn routines. As I said before they can plow, pull, and be ridden. They tend to be brave mounts. Far less spooky than some horses. They can learn voice commands and their names. With proper training they can learn to pick up their feet for farrier care just like a horse can. Most of mine already understand how to neck rein and are 1yrs old and under! *you can't compare feral unhandled cattle to trained/handled cattle*

Consider a steer (or two) as an addition to your herd! You will not regret it. They are alot of fun and such loving animals.
