Welcome to the Big Rok Angus Annual Production Sale Big Rok Angus operates with a clear vision: to consistently produce exceptional Angus cattle. That vision isn’t seasonal or situational—it’s reflected in the daily decisions that shape this program year after year. From breeding philosophy to cattle selection, the focus remains on quality cattle with the economic traits necessary to build a productive, profitable cowherd. It is that disciplined approach
and attention to detail that places the Big Rok Angus cowherd among the most respected in the region. From the beginning, this program understood that elite females are the cornerstone of long-term success. Foundational cows carrying the VDAR prefix were instrumental in establishing the direction of the Big Rok herd. Cow families such as Polly, Lucy, Forever Lady, Buena, Enchantress, Beauty, and Lass not only helped define this program, but also represent maternal lines that have influenced the Angus breed for generations. For those who return year after year, Big Rok Angus has proven to be a dependable source of high quality genetics. The bulls reflect true Angus character, offering width, length, and performance, while the depth of the female base provides the phenotype
needed to consistently produce the kind of cattle today’s elite commercial cattlemen demand. If this is your first visit to Detroit Lakes, you’ll quickly recognize both the history behind this program and the quality of the cattle offered. Should I be able to assist you in evaluating the offering
prior to the sale or with purchases on sale day, please don’t hesitate to ask. Warm Regards, Ron W. Frye, 406-600-7514, ronfryemarketing@gmail.com
