Does this look like ringworm or just a rub mark?

Pulled some off their momma's yesterday and noticed this one had a spot on his head. Its the only one I see. I looked him over pretty good. I have the vet coming later this week for some routine stuff, but I was wondering...

It looks like ringworm to me. If it is white and flaky, then it is ringworm. We use coppertox to treat it, if we do treat it. Usually we don't unless it is near the eyes.
 
I would guess ringworm, considering the hair around it is pretty thick. If it was a rub mark, you would think the hair around it would be thinner or a larger area would be affected.
 
Ringworm.

It'll go away eventually... after its worked it's way through your calf herd. :P
