[QUOTE="randiliana, post: 475949, member: 2308"] Mineral program, or not, it is a fungus. Once you have it you have it. It lives in the wood of your corrals, and possibly the ground. So, unless you tear down your corrals, or don't use any, you are stuck with it. But, it is almost always just a cosmetic problem. The odd one will scratch its eye on something when scratching the ringworm, and end up with pinkeye. I know around here you don't get docked for ringworm at the sale barn. As for treatments, we have used coppertox, and it works well enough, I suppose. But for something that is pretty much cosmetic, we rarely treat it unless the calves are getting sore eyes because of it. I have no desire to run 40 calves down the chute an extra time, and stress them again. [/QUOTE]
