Ring Worm

[SpringHill Farms]

Does anyone have any good remedies for RingWorm. Last summer several of my bucket calves had it terrible. I scrubbed them with a steel brush, tried iodine, tried bleach water, tried athlete's foot spray (worked best), but not great. Didn't know if there were any other remedies for the problem. These calves have access to the sunlight as well.
Thanks

preston, no one makes money if you use old motor oil, but it has worked since before my time. i have tried blue kote, which will work in time also. tried bleach after crubbing ,never did work. vet used to give mine a & d but admitted oil would do it

jerry,
I hear you on the money thing. I don't think that small exposure would do any damage. I know folks who have done it for years with good results and no problems commented on.
