Flies can be a problem for cattle ranchers because they can cause economic losses, health issues, and reduced performance. Flies can:
Irritate cattle
Flies can cause constant irritation and stress, which can lead to cattle spending less time lying down and more time stomping, tail swishing, and standing in groups.
Take nutrients from cattle
Flies can suck blood from cattle, which can deprive them of nutrients.
Spread disease
Flies can transmit diseases like pinkeye, anaplasmosis, and joint illness, which can cause blindness, lameness, and reduced milk production in cattle. Adult cows are especially vulnerable to these diseases, and their susceptibility increases as they age.
Reduce weight gain and milk yields
As few as 100–200 flies per side can reduce calf and stocker weight gain by 25–50 pounds in the summer, and flies can also lower milk yields.

Are flies bugging your cows? - Beef Magazine
Flies are not only a nuisance for humans, but also an even greater nuisance for livestock. Additionally, flies can spread disease, from anaplasmosis to pinkeye. They are responsible for a tremendous amount of lost production in the form of decreased weight gain or lower milk yields. Rather than eating, cattle will spend time stomping and tail swishing, lying down, and standing in groups or in the middle of a stock pond. It doesn't take a large number of flies to have an effect on your cattle's production. As few as 100 to 200 flies per side is enough to impact calf or stocker gains by 25 to 50 pounds during the summer.

Understanding the Effects of Flies on Cattle Production
Oct 7, 2020 — Flies are a constant irritant and performance drain on cattle whether on pasture or drylot. They take nutrients from the animal by the constant blood they can suck, produce high levels of stress with constant irritation and transmit a variety of diseases contributing to additional production, health and economic losses.

Effects of Flies on Dairy Cattle Welfare and Productivity
Cows are irritated by fly feeding behavior and can become very stressed under excessive fly populations. Cows also become restless and spend less time lying down when under heavy fly pressure. Prolonged exposure to fly irritation can lead to a decrease in production.

How Flies Can Affect Cows of Different Ages - Champion Animal Health
Jan 23, 2023 — Adult cows are particularly vulnerable to fly-borne diseases, such as pinkeye and joint illness, both of which can cause blindness or lameness in cattle. This can lead to reduced milk production and even death. As cows age, they become more susceptible to these diseases and parasites as their immune systems weaken.
Some common flies that bother cattle include horn flies, face flies, stable flies, deer flies, horse flies, and heel flies. Horn flies are considered the most economically damaging insect pest for pastured cattle. Female horn flies lay eggs in fresh manure, and the eggs hatch within 1–2 days.
For cattle, flies are some of the most troublesome external parasites. There are numerous species of flies and all of them can have a negative impact on the productivity and profitability of your beef herd. Flies can reduce performance in cattle due to reduced grazing as they swat at flies and not eat grass.
