NETBIO plans Jan 21 sale

The Northeast Texas Beef Improvement Organization (NETBIO) is getting ready for its next pre-conditioned calf and yearling sale — to be held on Friday, January 21.

Over 5,000 head of cattle that have already been consigned to the sale. The consignment book is still open for entering the sale.

Sulphur Springs Livestock Commission co-owner and NETBIO board member David Fowler said NETBIO member-producers will have a lot of quality cattle in the sale. All the calves offered in the sale will have been pre-conditioned through the NETBIO vaccination program and weaned at least 60 days in advance of the sale.

The sale, held at the Sulphur Springs Livestock Auction Market, will begin at 1 p.m. The cafe will be open, and the cattle will be penned for viewing before the sale.

This auction will be broadcast on the Internet and the Sulphur Springs Livestock Auction will be accepting bids at LMA Auctions.com. Internet buyers should register in advance in order to bid by calling the Auction Market or going by the office.

For more information about the NETBIO sales, call the Sulphur Springs Livestock office at 903-885-2455 or visit the website at www.sslivestockauctions.com.
