Symens Brothers’ 30th Annual Muscle Up for Profit Production Sale

Upper deck seating in the Aberdeen Livestock sale barn was needed to fit all the buyers at the Symens Brothers’ 30th Annual Production Sale. Buyers were active in their bidding on cattle with calving ease, performance, and the trademark Limousin muscle. Stout bulls, breds, and open heifers were offered up at auction. The Symens’ signature pies were non-cattle sale highlights once again! The entire sale grossed $221,350 as 109 Limousin and Lim-Flex® cattle lots averaged $2,025.
