Oh, I buy the ear tags with permethrin (not the ones with other stuff that I do not understand) since I know that is what is in equine fly spray. A piece of bailing twine (farmer's duct tape) works great to help hold the tag in the braid.

It falls on both sides, but right now the middle is bald, itchy and wrinkled looking. Any cures out there that have been tried and true? The no-see-ums are wicked right now, I fly sprayed him last night to help keep him from getting more bites, but I'd like to "fix" the bald patch! > > heidi > > > > . o o o o > o_ \ \____ o_ \_\ > (*)~(*)\_______/ > / \ > \______/ / > \_______/\ /- > o-- /_/ \ / > / \ / / > o o o-- / > / \ > o o > heidi larson > > > > > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= > > Ridecamp is a service of Endurance Net, http://www.endurance.net. > Information, Policy, Disclaimer: http://www.endurance.net/Ridecamp > Subscribe/Unsubscribe http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/logon.asp > > Ride Long and Ride Safe!! > > =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= >
