Due to the increased demand, the Northeast Texas Beef Improvement Organization (NETBIO) has added a December 2019 pre-conditioned calf and yearling sale to its schedule.

Sulphur Springs Livestock Commission is now taking consignments for this additional sale, which will be held on Wednesday, Dec. 11. Only one day after the sale was announced this week, producers had already consigned 1,060 head to the event.

Calves consigned to this sale should be weaned by Oct. 27 and receive their booster shots by Nov. 11. The sale will begin at 1 p.m. at the Sulphur Springs Livestock Commission.

“It became apparent that we have NETBIO members who have pre-conditioned calves ready for the market,” said David Fowler, “so we decided to add the December sale to help market the cattle.”

Producers are encouraged to register cattle for the sale as early as possible. For more information on the sale, call 903-885-2455 or visit our Web Site at sslivestockauctions.com.
