“It’s truly the efforts of the entire family that makes Symens Brothers succeed,” said Warren Sy-mens. “No single part of the operation will work without being a part of a cycle that utilizes all of our talents — from the field to the pasture to the feedlot to the plate.” In recent years, the addition of a hoop barn has further improved feedlot operations, and a shift in gestation dates may allow the hoop barn to be used for calving, as well. As the family celebrates its 40th anniversary production sale in 2020, the business may continue to change and evolve to meet the current demands and drivers of the industry. However, a few things will remain the same — tried and true Limousin bulls will continue to be offered at Symen’s Brothers. LT At the production sale, bulls are viewed on a video screen instead of working them through the ring. And as always, data collection helps to improve genetics and provide information to their cus-tomers for making sound buying decisions. At every level, Symens aims to improve, adapt and innovate in order to produce exceptional Li-mousin genetics for themselves and their customers. LIMOUSIN Today | 101
