Blackleg Outbreak in Isolated County Areas Recedes
Local veterinarians report a slight flare up of blackleg in county herds but say it has largely run its course. Dr. Don Williams notes a past surge, likely checked by dry weather, and warns that skipping annual vaccination invites recurring cases. Vaccination remains 90 to 95 percent effective with lifelong protection.

Freedom Ends For Old S-14 Bull Captured By Tranquilizer Dart
Old S-14, a Brangus bull that escaped from a rodeo near Ada about 19 days ago, was tranquilized and captured Friday after noon. Local residents reported the mean animal wandering north of the city. Elmer West had tracked the renegade as officials planned transfer to a corral near Elton Stewart’s north of the airport where rodeo promoter Tony Travis or a representative would retrieve him. Don Taylor and Joe Roberts went to collect the bull with horses and dogs, but S-14 resisted the plan and the operation continued.
