[QUOTE="dun, post: 20557, member: 34"] Ringworm is highly contagious and can be spread to people and pets as well as other cattle. Anything the calf has come in contact with will likely harbor the fungus and others may or may not get it. Next week, next year, next decade, etc. There are a bunch of different treatments from spraying with iodine, scrubbing with crest toothpaste, scarlet oil, etc. You can also leave it alone and it will eventually go away. I don;t know of any way to prevent others from getting it, just treat it as it comes if you choose to treat it at all. Don't know about equipment from TS, depends on the brand and the grade level that it is. Some pour-ons are premixed, some require mixing, check the packaging. The hardest part I've had with pour-ons is judging how fast to pour it and move down the topline. Some containers have an appicator attached/as part of the container, others you need some type of dipper, longed handled is best. It's all pretty much, you pays your money and takes your chances. Some folks swear by stuff that I just swear at. dun [/QUOTE]
