[QUOTE="northerner, post: 1650781, member: 39453"] I have a situation that is first for me, and I am not sure which way to choose. I have 6 calves, 3 steers and 3 heifers, 600 to 700 lb weight range. Original plan was to raise them to this target weight and take them to the barn sale. Now, one of the steers has a ring worms with a single large spot right on his face. When it just started I treated him with the fluid film (advice from my local Mennonite neighbour). To my surprise and relief none of the other 5 got it and the original steer did not develop no other bald spots. Which brings me to my dilemma, I have to take 5 and sell them. But can I leave him alone until he develops immunity and the hair grows back or does he needs a buddy and I have to sell only 4 leaving one to be with him? [/QUOTE]
