ZACTRAN INTERCEPTS THE BALL THEN SETTLES FOR A FIELD GOAL
DRAXXIN 13, ZACTRAN 10
After Zactran scored in the opening play of the third quarter, they were on fire.  “Crazy Legs” Craig had scored the extra point then turned right around and kicked off to Draxxin.  The kick set Draxxin deep in to their end of the field.  Draxxin Offensive Coordinator Paul just couldn’t get his boys to move the ball downfield.  Draxxin eventually turned over control of the ball.  Zactran advanced the ball, but just couldn’t punch it in eventually settling for a field goal.  
 
It’s late in the third quarter and the score is close.  What a game we have!

Penicillin Residues
It appears the use of short-acting Penicillin in cull sows has recently led to an increased number of residues being found at packing plants across the industry, according to Dr. William Safley DVM at Spencer Ag Center.
Spencer Ag Center is updating its script for short-acting Penicillin and recommending changes in use of the medication. Dr. Safley says producers should administer short-acting Penicillin at a dosage of 5cc/100 pounds IM, not exceed 10cc per injection site and avoid exceeding 20cc per animal. Slaughter withdrawal is 30 days.
The changes apply only to short-acting Penicillin, according to Dr. Safley. Long-acting Penicillin should not be used in swine.
Producers are encouraged to closely monitor medication withdrawal periods and follow label directions. The increased number of instances of penicillin residues could be the result of enhanced testing for antibiotics at packing plants that has become more sensitive and specific.
