I’ve not seen the study referenced, but if I were doing it I’d have cows I painted with white paint, white stripes, black paint, and a control I left unpainted.

Yes, obviously. But are the flies possibly repelled by the paint? Are the flies even able to bite through the paint?

    Fair enough. But I’m in no rush to paint myself or my dog, and I lost the last cow I ever had over the Rainbow Bridge…

This study is posted in another comment here, but they left out the black paint group.
