Forage Quality Should Be Matched To Animal’s Nutritional Needs Before Feeding
By Dr. Mario Villarino, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension
According to Texas A&M Agrilife Extension forage specialist Vanessa Corriher, one of the first considerations when purchasing hay is that it should be based on individual animal requirements. For optimal production, forage quality should be matched as closely as possible to the nutritional needs of the animal. Low quality forage can result in reduced animal performance and increased supplemental feeding costs. Whereas, with hay of sufficient quality, little or no supplementation will be necessary to meet the animals’ nutritional needs.
Keep in mind that not all forage or hay is created equal. There is great variation between forages and nutrient content can vary dramatically even within a particular type of forage. Several factors influence hay quality, such as maturity (time of harvesting), forage species and variety, fertilization, temperature, leaf to stem ratio and weather at harvesting/baling.
Regardless whether you are buying hay or feeding with the hay you raised, it is a good idea to test the hay to determine what, if any, supplementation will be needed when the hay is fed. When collecting samples, a good practice is to sample approximately 10% of the bales from a particular cutting or load using a hay probe. Often times, a hay probe can be borrowed from your county Extension office. Samples should be taken from bales that would represent hay from the entire field. After taking samples from the bales, combine the samples and remove a portion to send off for analysis.
Crude protein content is the most common thing people think about when testing hay. While crude protein content is important, a good estimate of TDN (total digestible nutrients) is as important and, in many cases, more important than crude protein. There is a multitude of both commercial and university forage labs around the country.
Soil, Water and Forage Testing Laboratory
The Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service Soil, Water and Forage Testing Laboratory does offer forage analysis as a service out of College Station, Texas. For additional information on forage testing or available forage labs, contact your local beef cattle or livestock specialist or a ruminant nutritionist.
Now is the time to get a nutrient analysis of all available hay and forage. Sort your cattle based on their nutrient requirements. Properly match available forage and hay to the different groups of cattle and make sure their nutrient requirements are being met. Feeding cattle is never cheap but producers with information about what they are feeding can be more efficient.
To promote hay testing and support regional youth students, the Hopkins County Hay Show is currently requesting hay samples to enter into the 2021 Hay Show before October 8, 2021. Hay samples will be tested for TDN and protein for free as part of the contest process. Hay samples can be submitted at the Hopkins County USDA office. Winners will be announced October 21, 2021, at Hopkins County Regional Civic Center.

Buildings to be lit up in blue at all 13 Texas A&M
University System campuses for World Teachers’ Day
BRYAN-COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Blue lights will once again shine bright on Texas A&M University System campuses across the state Tuesday in recognition of World Teachers’ Day. The 11 universities in the A&M System, the RELLIS Campus in Bryan and the Texas A&M University Health Science Center (Texas A&M Health) will illuminate a total of 30 iconic buildings and landmarks.
“We hope everyone takes notice and thinks about how critical teachers were not only to their own lives, but also to our collective future,” said Elaine Mendoza, of the Texas A&M System Board of Regents. “The Texas A&M University System is proud to graduate more fully-certified teachers than any public university system in Texas and, most importantly, recognizes educator preparation as one of the most significant contributions we can make to our great state.”
World Teachers’ Day was conceived by UNESCO, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization, in 1994. The day provides the occasion to celebrate the teaching profession worldwide, take stock of achievements and draw attention to the voices of teachers who are at the heart of efforts to attain the global education target of leaving no one behind.
Graduates from education colleges at Texas A&M University System campuses are highly sought-after because they are so well prepared, said Chancellor John Sharp.
“Our graduates are sought after by school districts all across Texas because they know our students are getting the tools they need to be ready on Day One in the classroom,” Chancellor Sharp said. “We prepare teachers to be able to make the world a better place, one child at a time.”
The theme for this year’s World Teachers’ Day is “Teachers at the heart of education recovery.” All 11 universities in the Texas A&M System will, via social media and other online efforts, be encouraging their communities to consider the contributions teachers have made to provide remote learning, support vulnerable populations, re-open schools and ensure learning gaps are mitigated.
The buildings and landmarks to be illuminated in blue are:
- The Performing Arts Center, the three fountains in Garvin Lake, Talbot Hall and Memorial Stadium at Texas A&M University-Commerce;
- The Jack K. Williams Administration Building, the Harrington Education Center, Albritton Bell Tower and the dome of the Academic Building at Texas A&M University;
- Trailblazer Tower, the Vergara Planetarium and the front of Killam Library at Texas A&M International University;

- The Original Texans sculpture and the Haywood Spirit Tower on the Charles K. and Barbara Kerr Vaughn Pedestrian Mall, and The Eternal Flame monument in Victory Circle at West Texas A&M University;
- The Smokestack at Tarleton State University;
- The Wilhelmina R.F. Delco Building and John B. Coleman Library at Prairie View A&M University;
- The Torre de Esperanza, the fountain at the intersection of University and Jaguar Way and the Central Academic Building at Texas A&M University-San Antonio;
- The top floor of the Texas A&M Health Dental Clinic and Education Building in Dallas;
- The Health Professionals Education Building and Medical Research & Education Building at Texas A&M Health in Bryan;
- The Texas A&M Health Discovery Tower and EnMed Building in Houston;

Lady Cats Volleyball At Home For Tuesday Gameday
The Lady Cats volleyball team will look to complete their two-game home stand with another victory when they host the Mount Pleasant Lady Tigers.
Last Friday Sulphur Springs hosted Longview, and while things got interesting for the Lady Cats as the match went to five sets, they were able to pull out the victory versus the district foe Lady Lobos.
Coach Bailey Dorner’s team took set one in dominating fashion, 25-12 as they looked to rebound from Tuesday’s loss in Hallsville.
While the Lady Lobos were able to to make the second set more competitive, they fell short to Sulphur Springs 25-17 to allow the Lady Cats to take a demanding 2-0 set lead over Longview.
The Lady Lobos, realizing a defeat would drastically hurt their potential playoff positioning, played hard in sets three and four, never relenting and managed to tie it up thanks to 26-24 and 27-25 sets three and four wins.
Coach Dorner’s squad took set five handedly, beating Longview 15-5 to win set five and the match versus the Lady Lobos.
The win gave the volleyball team an 18-12 overall record (4-2 district). Sulphur Springs after Friday’s win is now officially halfway through the fall 2021 district season.
The win also firmly put the Lady Cats in fourth place in District 15-5A.
Longview came into the game 2-3 in district, with Sulphur Springs a game ahead at 3-2. If the Lady Cats wished to keep up with Texas High, Marshall and Hallsville, they had to beat the Lady Lobos to keep up with the three teams who have two losses or less in district play.
But before they can focus on the top three teams in District 15-5A they will have to get past the Mt. Pleasant Lady Tigers when they come to town today.
Sulphur Springs swept the Lady Tigers in Mt. Pleasant 3-0 for a district-opening sweep on Sept. 10.
Coach Bailey Dorner and her program will no doubt hope for similar results when the Mount Pleasant Lady Tigers come to the SSHS Main Gym on Tuesday, Oct. 5.
That match is set to begin with JV and freshmen squads at 5 P.M. followed by the varsity showdown at 6 P.M.
Today’s game, if given permission by Mount Pleasant, will be live-streamed onto KSST Radio’s YouTube channel. Regardless of livestream capabilities, Tuesday’s volleyball matchup with the Lady Tigers will be broadcasted on KSST 1230 AM.
KSST is proud to be the official Wildcat and Lady Cat Station. We broadcast Sulphur Springs ISD games year round live on radio. When allowed, we also broadcast games via our YouTube channel.
Hay Show: Deadline Oct. 11 for Hay Samples from Hopkins, Rains County Forage Producers
To continue a long-standing Hopkins County agricultural tradition, the Hay Show will take place on October 21, 2021. According to Andy Wright, it will be held at the Hopkins County Civic Center starting about 11:30 a.m with a BBQ lunch. Winning hay samples will be auctioned and Hopkins and Rains County producers will be announced. The event is an annual project of the Soil and Water Conservation District. The event sponsors two Ag Student Scholarships each year.
One of the goals of the Hay Show is to provide agricultural producers an opportunity to test their forages and to gain knowledge from the results. Producers wishing to enter the Hay Show must take up to two samples of hay for testing by the deadline of October 11, 2021, to the Northeast Texas Farmers Co-op lab in Sulphur Springs, located across the street from the Co-op Farm and Ranch Center on North Jackson Street The Co-op testing lab will provide the testing again this year. Hay samples should be about a gallon or more, and can be brought in a feed sack. Hay samples will be tested then displayed at the Hay Show on October 21. Nutrition percentages determined by testing provide valuable information for farmers wishing to produce the best grade of forage for their livestock.
Another of the goals of the Hay Show is to show support for the agricultural interests of high school students of Hopkins and Rains counties. The Soil and Water Conservation District extends scholarships to qualifying high school students entering college to study agriculture sciences. Any high school senior in Hopkins or Rains County can apply. Entry in the Hay Show is not a requirement. Contact Andy Wright, your County Agent or phone the Hopkins and Rains County SWCD office at 903-885-4433 Ext. 3 for more details or for a Scholarship application.

Cumby Man Allegedly Flipped Truck And Trailer, Got It Back On Road, Resumed Reckless Driving Before Felony DWI Arrest
A 69-year-old Cumby man allegedly flipped his truck and trailer, managed to flip the truck back over and resume driving recklessly before being arrested on a felony drunk driving charge Friday afternoon, according to arrest reports.
Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office deputies received a complaint of a reckless driver on FM 2653 south at around 1:10 p.m. Oct. 1, 2021. A witness claimed the a white Chevrolet pickup was being driven all over the road, and at one point even flipped the truck and trailer it was pulling, but managed to turn the truck back over and kept driving, officers alleged in arrest reports. The truck was alleged to have then been driven recklessly to the point it almost collided with multiple vehicles head-on.
Cumby Police Officer Justin Talley responded and was able to intercept the truck on FM 2653 near County Road 1125. Talley reported the driver, identified in arrest reports as Wilburn Lewis Russell of Cumby, got out of the truck and refused to comply with simple commands from him. Talley detained Russell until HCSO Deputy Elijah Fite and Sgt. Todd Evans arrived.
Fite reported Russell exhibited 6 of 6 possible clues on horizontal gaze nystagmus tests, then refused to perform any further standard field sobriety tests. Russell was transported to the county jail for suspicion of DWI. After being read his rights, Russell refused to provide either a blood or breath test for analysis.
Consequently, deputies were able to secure a warrant signed by County Court At Law Judge Clay Harrison requiring Russell to submit to a blood draw for analysis. The blood sample was taken at CHRISTUS Mother Francis Hospital Sulphur Springs, then Russell was transported back to jail, where he was booked at 5:32 p.m. Oct. 1, 2021, for driving while intoxicated.
The charge was enhanced to a felony offense due to two prior DWI convictions on his records, according to arrest and jail reports. Jail records show Russell was jailed on June 3, 1974 and March 31, 2014, on DWI charges.
The 68-year-old Cumby man spent the night in Hopkins County jail Oct. 1 and was released the next day on a $10,000 bond on the felony DWI-third offense charge.

Man Arrested At Sheriff’s Office: Firearm and Controlled Substance Found In His Truck
A 28-year-old Sulphur Springs man caught officials’ attention when he arrived at Hopkins County Sheriff’s Office lobby Saturday morning because of a marijuana odor emitting from him, according to arrest reports.
Deputies reportedly contacted and escorted him to his truck, where his juvenile son was reported to be waiting. The son appeared to be upset. Deputies reported seeing an open container of alcohol in the console. A closer inspection peering into the driver’s side of the pickup revealed a clear bag containing a suspected controlled substance. Further search reportedly revealed a .22-caliber revolver inside a storage compartment under the console.
As a result K C Antwan Macon was arrested at 11:14 a.m. Oct. 2, 2021, in the sheriff’s office parking lot by Deputies Jason Lavender and Elijah Fite for possession of less than 1 gram of a Penalty Group 1 controlled substance in a drug-free zone, unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon and endangering a child.
The 28-year-old Sulphur Springs man was released from the county jail Sunday, Oct. 3, 2021, on a $10,000 bond on the firearm charge and $5,000 bonds on the two other charges.
