It wasn't that obvious at all babe...

But in answer to your question, there is a reason that I've always
preferred to do home slaughtering in the winter or early spring. Red
meat (deer and emu, never done a cow) do seem to attract more flies than
smaller game. I think it's that it tends to be a bit bloodier.

Frankly, I'm surprised the smoke does not keep the flies away.

But, do try drowning traps. They might help.
