The Northeast Texas Beef Improvement Organization (NETBIO) will hold its next preconditioned calf and yearling sale Wednesday, Sept. 16.

Cattle producers have consigned more than 5,000 head of cattle to the sale, which will be held at the Sulphur Springs Livestock Market beginning at 1 p.m.

Calves consigned to the sale would have been weaned by Aug. 2 and had their boosting shots by Aug. 17.

Due to COVID-19 guidelines that restrict large gatherings, Sulphur Springs Livestock has arranged the auditorium so that auction attendees are seated 6 feet apart. This restricts seating to 33 people, and those seats will be reserved for buyers. Buyers are asked not to bring extra people with them to the auction.

Sellers are encouraged to watch the sale online. The auction is broadcast on the Internet at LMAAuctions. com. Buyers planning to purchase cattle online should contact the Sulphur Springs Livestock Auction office prior to the day of the sale to register as an internet buyer. The cafe will be operating as normal.
