NETBIO Conditioned Calf and Yearlings Sale Nets $877.16 per Head
The Northeast Texas Beef Improvement Organization (NETBIO) Pre-Conditioned Calf and Yearling Sale held at the Sulphur Springs Livestock Commission Wednesday attracted a full house of buyers, sellers and visitors, and sold 6,595 head of quality cattle.
David Fowler, Sulphur Springs Livestock Commission co-owner and NETBIO board member, said, “It was a very good sale for this time of year and there was a great demand for these cattle.”
A total of 6,595 head of preconditioned cattle went through the auction ring Wednesday during the NETBIO sale held at the Sulphur Springs Livestock Commission.
A total of 258 producers (NETBIO members) sold cattle at the sale that were purchased by 28 buyers. Fowler said 3,622 head of cattle were sold to buyers watching and bidding over the internet.
All NETBIO auctions are broadcast on the Internet via LMA Auctions.com. Internet buyers should register in advance in order to bid. For more information, call 903-885-2455 or visit their Web Site at www.sslivestockauctions.com.
Fowler said a lot of the cattle were purchased to go to feed yards in Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas and some grazing cattle were shipped west. He added that producers continue to do a great job of pre-conditioning their cattle for the sale. Buyers paid an average of $877.16 per head for all cattle.
Some of the quality cattle offered at the September NETBIO Pre-conditioned Calf and Yearling sale held Wednesday at the Sulphur Springs Livestock Commission.
The next NETBIO sale will be held at the Sulphur Springs Livestock Commission on Wednesday, October 17. This is the newest sale that has been added to the yearly schedule by the NETBIO board. That sale will be followed by the anniversary sale slated for November 14. All sales begin at 1 p.m.
The NETBIO Pre-Conditioned Stocker and Feeder Calf Sale gives its member-producers a market to offer their pre-conditioned calves and yearlings in load lot quantities. NETBIO holds eight pre-conditioned calf sales each year to accommodate the various weaning dates of its members.
“We make every effort to provide a marketing opportunity for producers who have pre-conditioned cattle ready to sell,” Fowler said. Just call the Livestock Sale office for more information.
United We Serve…2018 United Way Campaign Is Underway With a Goal of $165,000
The Hopkins County United Way is 63 years old, successfully continuing to serve Hopkins County people in major ways with a simple concept: gathering and distributing funds to local charitible organizations so that the services these organizations offer can remain available to everyone in the community who need the services. Alliance Bank Sr. VP Mike Jumper, the 2018/2019 Campaign Chairman, is excited about this year’s drive and proud of our county’s history of serving unitedly. Adam Teer is United Way President and Susan Berning, Secretary.
The kickoff event, the Volunteers Luncheon, was held on Tuesday September 18, 2018. Next, expect to see United Way volunteers delivering donation packets to previous donors and potential donors throughout the county. These volunteers also recommend that individuals help too, by giving through payroll deducation where they work. If you are not already donating to United Way weekly or monthly through payroll deducation, or donating annually with a lump sum, please consider doing so. Ninety-nine cents of each dollar you donate goes into the United Way fund.
United Way is an excellent method for the community to come together for a common charitible goal. During the 6-week donation drive, it is hoped that at least $165,000 will be raised through donatons from industry, business and individuals. In early November, the moneys will be be divided and disbursed for 2019 between nineteen different local charities already selected by the Budget and Allocations committee.
During October, keep up with the campaign’s progress by checking out the large United Way Thermometer when you drive by the Fire Station #2 on Gilmer Street at Bill Bradford Drive, or in other locations around town. To become a United Way donor or to ask questions about United Way, contact Susan Berning at 903-243-4066 or by email at [email protected]
