[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1779948, member: 25884"] Looks like ringworm to me. It's a fungus... we see it at one barn here... needs to be "smothered"... you can "paint it" with a brush and any kind of oil... some use used motor oil, we have good luck with smearing vaseline on it. It doesn't really hurt them. and when they shed out it usually disappears. Ringworm will make them rub against things occasionally. Look up "ringworm in cattle" and read up on it. Most people do little or nothing for it. "They say" it will happen in cattle that do not get enough Vit A or sunlight... but we don't see it that way.... I would give them a Vit A shot, and maybe try to rub something on it. If they are outside most of the time, then it is not something to panic over, they will seldom rub it raw. [/QUOTE]
