Fly masks in large pasture?

I used to put fly masks on mine and never had a problem except sometimes trying to find them out in the large pasture with varying terrain. In recent years I quit using the fly masks, unless it's a really bad face fly year and eyes start getting irritated. Quit keeping them locked in a dry lot for the majority of the time and count on the flies to drive them into the barn all day. Believe it or not they self regulate their pasture time to spending less time out eating than when I kept them on a dry lot for the day because now they don't spend what time they are out stuffing their faces with grass as fast and as long they can.
