Winter came early and need help, it is in the blacks, reds and commercial cattle. What do others use, and no Cory pine neddles do not work!

Didn't realize you'd tried pine needles-crest toothpaste does though lol.

Athlete't foot spray works great. One good sprayin of all the spots and they'll go away. Beats the heck out of what the vet told me to do....give the cows a bath with 1/2 bleach 1/2 water solution every day for 7 days....kinda hard to do when you have several with it.
Not hard at all to run em all thru and spray em down....oh and the discount brand works just as well as the name brand, and it's a whole lot cheaper.

Hope for an early spring...
Our vet makes a paste with horse wormer in it and it works OK as does Crest like Cory suggested but if we have much of it we have gone to scraping the crust and using waste oil on it. We use an old dish detergent container to squirt it on. One application and some time clears it up.canadian angus said:Winter came early and need help, it is in the blacks, reds and commercial cattle.

The organic treatment is vegtable oil and baking soda. One cup of soda to a gallon. Brush it on with scrub brush. Seems like the only time ringworm shows up is when they are too crowded. Fresh air and sunshine seems to help alot.

Get your cattle on a great (no, not run of the mill, but great) mineral program, and add Vit. A (30,000 iu's) to their diets, and your problem should be solved!!!
The outfit I married into would not believe me that this would work, but started on a better mineral program, and there were no ringworm issues the next year. Also, if you're having footrot problems, check your mineral program.
See a deficiency in Vit. A and zinc (among other vitamens and minerals) affect skin and hoof health. In the winter, northern cattle generally will be vitamen A deficient. as they are generally eating stored or stockpiled forage, not green, growing forage.
I think Faster Horses should be able to advise on the Mineral Program.
This may not the fast treatment you're looking for, but in the future, this will be a prevention that will keep the problem away.
Remember, it's always better to prevent, than treat!
I hope this helped!
Good luck, and cheers....

Yeast infection cream . I used to never have it but picked it up on the show road a few years back, seems like I get it every year now. I might have to reevaluate my mineral program TTB.

YEAAAAAAAAAAAA, TTB. Your are right on, my friend!!!!
A good-year round mineral program will prevent ringworm.
You know why? IMMUNE SYSTEM AT WORK.
When you get your cattles' diet balanced with mineral,
all these little aggravating things disappear. Literally, they
disappear. Our cattle are living proof of this. We used to
have ringworm every winter. Never see any of it now, nor
do we see hoofrot, or any other thing that picks your pocket.
As for treating what you have now, I'd just wait it out.

Yes the cows get it. I don't treat it with anything and the first spring rain washes it off. :wink:the_jersey_lilly_2000 said:

Thank you all, it isn't over crowding or mineral and I think not vitamins but an early dismal fall and winter. We will try some or all of your tricks and post later! And thanks again. :roll:

two things that have worked well for me
1) mix copper suphate (bluestone ) with water and apply after crust has been removed
2) powder sulpher mixed with vaseline and applied
for some reason we have had no ringworm this winter.
funny thing we have found the ringworm always hits the red angus first?????
