Three NETBIO sales slated at
Sulphur Springs Livestock Market
Three Northeast Texas Beef Improvement Organization (NETBIO) pre-conditioned cattle sales will be held at the Sulphur Springs Livestock Commission market between now and November 20.
The first of the three upcoming sales will be the September 18 NETBIO pre-conditioned stocker and feeder calf sale. More than 5,000 head of cattle have already been consigned for this sale.
The consignment books are still open for the October 16 NETBIO sale and the organization’s anniversary sale slated for Nov. 20. Consignment books are still open for both sales. However producers are encouraged to sign up early and pick up your ear tags at the market center office because they are filling up fast.
The organization’s November anniversary sale will mark the beginning of the 21st year for this pre-conditioned cattle producer organization. This sale already has more than 4,000 head of cattle consigned and traditionally fills up before the sale. Therefore, producers are urged to get their name on the list early.
All of the NETBIO sales begin at 1 p.m. and visitors are invited to come early and view the cattle.
The NETBIO auctions are 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.
For more information and to register cattle for these sales, call 903-885-2455 or visit their Website at sslivestockauctions.com.

Rural Sulphur Springs Man Accused Of Striking Another Man In The Head With Pistol
A 26-year-old Sulphur Springs man was jailed Sunday on a warrant for allegedly hitting another man in the head with a pistol earlier this month, according to arrest and sheriff’s reports.
Miguel Isaias Sandoval was taken into custody at his County Road 4791 residence at 8:08 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 18 by Hopkins County Sheriff’s Deputy Chris Baumann on an aggravated assault with a deadly weapon warrant.
Sandoval was alleged to have followed two men, including one he had reportedly been in an argument with, in a silver Camaro on Aug. 4. While driving, Sandoval allegedly fired two shots from his car. The man he had argued with reportedly stopped the pickup he was driving on County Road 4791 and got out to confront Sandoval, according to reports by Hopkins County Sheriff’s Investigator Wade Sheets.
Sandoval allegedly got out of his car and approached the other man. Sandoval struck him on the head with the handle of his pistol. The other man reportedly went to the ground, where Sandoval allegedly struck him with the pistol at least two more times. The other man reportedly got to his feet and retreated to his pickup, then sought treatment at the hospital, according to sheriff’s reports.
HCSO investigators were contacted regarding the alleged assault on Aug. 14. Sandoval, when contacted by authorities, admitted he wanted to fight with the other man, but denied doing so, and claimed he hadn’t seen the other man since the other man drove by his house. As he drive by, Sandoval alleged the man “spun the tires” of the vehicle he was driving.
A warrant for Sandoval’s arrest for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon was issued Aug. 15 and executed at Sandoval’s residence Sunday, Aug. 18, by Deputy Baumann. Sandoval also had three traffic warrants: one for failure to maintain financial responsibility and two for speeding, according to arrest and sheriff’s reports.
Sandoval remained in the county jail Monday morning, Aug. 19. His bond on the second degree felony aggravated assault charge was set at $50,000, according to jail reports. Fees owed on the outstanding traffic charges totaled $953, according to arrest reports.
