The high temperatures and humidity levels of an Alabama summer are perfect conditions for fly populations to thrive. If left to their own devices, flies can quickly cause issues for both beef cattle and producers.

“Flies and other external parasites directly affect a producer’s bottom line and can cause many health problems in cattle,” said Dr. Soren Rodning, an Alabama Extension veterinarian at Auburn University.

Several fly species can affect cattle including horn, stable, heel, blow and screwworm flies.

The recent detections of New World screwworm in Texas and New Mexico have brought national attention to the importance of proper fly control. While this pest has not been found in Alabama yet, Rodning encourages producers to monitor their herds vigilantly.

The general public can submit Drought Conditions Monitoring Reports (CMOR) via Drought.org. Regular reports from the public are what help create a more accurate map of drought in Alabama. You can support this work by submitting drought reports through the Condition Monitoring Observer Reports survey. This is a nation-wide service created by the National Drought Mitigation Center in collaboration with the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the National Integrated Drought Information System.

Condition Monitoring Observer Reports on Drought (CMOR-Drought) is a tool that allows citizen scientists to submit observation reports relating to drought, which are presented in a map that can be used to view and access submitted information and attachments.
