At the weekly farmer's meeting, Farmer Ian reported that he spotted the first huge fly of the year harassing an ox, the kind of fly that bites hard and seems to track the draft animals wherever they go. Around the farm, these flies are known as "bombers."
While small flies can be a nuisance to the draft horses, the bombers can cause dangerous agitation. That's why during the summer the horses are outfitted in fly nets and are sprayed with Skin So Soft.
