This year was Heim Cattle Company’s seventh annual production sale, and it was one for the history books.

One of Nathan Heim’s bulls went for $280,000 dollars. That is the highest sale the state of Minnesota has ever seen.

“There are a lot of people that make this operation happen... we are able to put product together that works and sells like it did on Saturday,” Heim stated, according to KTTC.
