Real Ranchers Share Their Fly Control Wins with Altosid® IGR

At Central Life Sciences, nothing speaks louder than the success of our customers. Across the country, cattle producers are seeing firsthand how Altosid® IGR transforms horn fly control from a frustrating challenge into a seamless, economical part of their mineral program. From the ease of use to the unmatched support from our team, here's what real producers have to say about their experience with Altosid® IGR.

A Better Way Forward

Chad Beasley | Indiana

Fly control has long been a pain point for Chad Beasley and his brother. But with Altosid® IGR, the struggle is finally over.

"I think it's economical. From other products, we got good control for a little while, but the flies were back by August and the cost was extremely high. I knew there had to be a better way."

Chad wasn't just satisfied with the results---he became an advocate.

"I've been spreading the word around here about the success we had, and I know of a couple of friends of mine have already jumped on it."

He also found major value in the ease of use and time savings Altosid® IGR provides.

"We tried injectables one season. But with Altosid IGR, it lasts well, and we didn't have to run 70 head through the corral and give shots. That's probably the biggest thing for me."

And when it comes to customer service?

"It's been a great experience, not just with the product, but with the support we've had from Kenley, all the way through from start to finish."

From Fly Problem to Fly-Free

Trey Hudgins | JSB Cattle Company, Texas

Operating in a high-humidity, fly-prone region, Trey knew controlling horn flies was critical to his cattle's health and performance.

"Upon us taking this ranch over and moving in fresh cattle, flies were one of our biggest issues. With running a cow/calf operation, as well as a stocker operation, the flies take their toll on everything."

After introducing Altosid® IGR into their loose mineral program, the change was night and day.

"You can drive through our cattle in the middle of the summer, and not see hardly any flies. It is mind boggling to be on the verge of a swamp in some parts of the ranch, and the cattle be clean, with no flies."

The results speak for themselves:

"Flies reduce grazing, spread disease, and impact efficiency. We have been using the Altosid IGR in our mineral for 4 years now, and it has done wonders for our operation. Our fly problem is so minimal that I honestly forget what it was like without Altosid IGR. It is when I have other people here at the ranch, and they are amazed that the cattle have no flies that I am reminded how great the product works."

For Trey Hudgins, the effectiveness of Altosid® IGR is matched by the quality of customer care.

"Working with the Central Life Sciences folks has always been a pleasure. They're extremely responsive. You call---they answer. Anytime I've had questions, I get the information I need. They're just good people who know how to take care of their own."

And he sums it up simply:

"Everyone needs a good mineral program. Being able to add fly control to that is just a double whammy. Keep the IGR in front of them, and you'll keep the flies off of them. It's a no-brainer that pays for itself time and time again."
