[QUOTE="Hawk, post: 20615, member: 114"] As Dun stated, ringworm is caused by a fungus, not parasites. Applying a wormer to the animal will have no effect on the ringworm. The infected areas may be treated with a substance that kills fungus. I have had some success using iodine. You have to scrub away the crust and get the medicine down to the skin. Ringworm is worse during the winter and generally clears up on its on in the spring once the animals start getting more sun. The condition is very contagious to other animals, including humans. You are right to want to worm your herd on a regular basis. The products that I use have an applicator build into the container. The wormer is poured in a line along the cow's back from the withers to the tail head. You can store the wormer, you don't have to use it all at once. Just pay close attention to the instructions that come with whatever product you choose. Ask the guys at TSC, I'm sure they will be glad to help you. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
