I was worried that our black calf might have fly strike. I have had problems in the past with fly strike on our Highland calves. Its now a major job catching these fast running calves but I was fortunate it went into the catching area without too much trouble. It is now too strong for me to hold while I checked out the problem but could not find any maggots, a dose of "Spoton" should do the trick if I missed them. I do not know why black calves are more prone to fly problems than the red or cream calves.
