I haven't seen to much ringworm in my short cattle career, can anyone tell me if this is it, and if not what do you think it might be.

Pictures way too small to see any detail.

Re-post pictures at about 600 x 400 pixels, give or take.

Most likely is ringworm.. show calves are notorious for getting it.. especially if that rope halter was used on another calf that had it.

It is hard to tell from the photos.. too small.

Here they are just a little bigger.

Are you sure that it isn't just fat rolls? I can't tell from the pictures, but is the "ringworm" under his neck?

Yes its ringworm. The ones on his neck that still have hair on them, you will need to scrape with a wire brush (sometimes we use a scaple) to get the crusties off then spray with bleach water (use a bleach pen on the one above his eye). You can also use fluid film, athletes foot spray, toothpaste. Then you should probably spray the premisis down with bleach water as well.

Ringworm is a pain. :roll:
