General sanitation is always the first and most important step in controlling flies. Cleaning up that poop and straw asap is the first step.

All trash outside and manure areas should be kept clean. Use garbage cans with tight lids, lined with plastic bags. This also contols odor. Dispose of manure weekly as house flys take a minimumof 8 days to emerge to dispose of that manure weekly.

Elminate other breeding materials like rotting bales, wet loose straw, mulch, leaves, manure, garbage, etc. Compost piles can be covered with black plastic. Avoid leaving moist foods outside (also I pick up my animals food so that the flys don't blow it)

Collect manure daily ( I do twice a day) Heavy rains bring more flies, clean all areas that are wet and attack flies. Drains also. Tall grass and weeds need to be removed from around buildings, flies rest on these.

Next you have fly strips, dung beetles or sprays, there are also trap and fly predators. There is also so many flies you are dealing with that just to say flies does not let us know which ones are bothering you.

House flies
Bitng Stable flies
Deer or horse Flies
Horn Flies
Face Flies
Blue or Black Blow Flies
Flesh and Bottle flies
Dung and Black Flies
Cluster flies

It is most likely wise to consult with your Vet or Farm Extension Agent
