Friday Feature: The Cow Sprayer Automated Fly Control System

Thanks to Nick Simmons, Escambia County Extension for sending in this week’s featured video.  This video highlights an innovation developed by Hue Fussell, a farmer in Ambrose, GA who invented “The Cow Sprayer.”  The Cow Sprayer automatically applies insecticide to every cow as they walk through a portable frame gate.  For just under $3,000 this solar powered system can be used to spray every cow in the herd without having to catch them in a squeeze chute or pen the cattle.  As they walk through the system voluntarily,  cows are gently sprayed individually.
