Dear Friends and Cattle Producers:

It is with great pleasure that we invite you to our 16th Annual Production Sale. This is

our 26th year of raising registered Angus cattle and 46 years of raising cattle. This experience has

shown us that you must have a strong maternal cowherd to be successful in the industry. True

performance that is bred in--not fed on.

We are now about 95% fall calving. Because of this decision, most of our bulls are 18-20

months old. These bulls are developed slowly to insure soundness. Our ration is designed for the

bulls to gain 2.25-2.50 pounds per day. Not very impressive when compared to some, but we believe this makes for sound breeding bulls

that will breed cows for many years. Also, the bulls selling represent the top 65% of our bulls born in 2015. At Big Rok Angus, bull calves

have to prove themselves to become a breeding bull.

All of the bulls have been carcass ultra-sounded, have had breeding soundness exams, and have had all of their pre-breeding

shots. They are ready to go work for you.

We will again be off ering 10 outstanding open replacement heifers. They have been very well received in the past! The open

heifers will be a cross section of our replacements, out of our very best proven cows. They have all had their pre-breeding shots and have

been ultra sounded to insure breeding soundness.

As we did last year, none of the cattle will come into the sale ring to be sold. All sale cattle will be video-taped in

February. These videos will be used on sale day and also will be available to be viewed around March 1st. This will allow you to preview

the sale off ering at your convenience. These videos will be available on our website: www.bigrokangus.com, conoveronlinesales.com.

and also at www.billpelton.com.

All the sale cattle will be penned outside of the sale barn on Friday before the sale and the day of the sale. We feel the videos

are helpful but still believe it’s best to look at the bulls and heifers with your own eyes. Also, we would love to show you our cowherd, as

we believe it is our cows that really separate us from the other breeders.

To our past bidders and buyers, we say Thank You and to the people new to Big Rok Angus, we say Welcome. You are all invited

to a complimentary homemade lunch before the sale starting at 11:30 am.

Big Rok Angus,

Kevin and Denise

Dear Angus friends,

It is again our distinct privilege to assist Kevin and Denise Olson with the

presentation of their 2017 production. It is very easy to follow the breeding philosophy

that drives this program now and into the future. Each pedigree in this book is laced with

well-thought and planned mating that brings about more than just single trait selection for

growth or carcass merit. Instead you can see balance in the value traits and deliberate focus

on fertility and maternal value.

If you read between the lines you can see Kevin Olson’s preference for moderate

mature size, fl eshing ability, effi cient gain, functional soundness, udder quality and sustainable growth and milk. These are

the assets the will keep cattlemen in the business over the long-run.

The foundation dams of this program represent the most distinguished cow families the breed has ever known.

They were introduced into this program years ago but continued to be scrutinized through performance and reproductive

evaluation, then multiplied using embryo transplant technology to fast track this herd into what it is today.

Legions of repeat customers drive this Angus business ahead.

They have come to expect an off ering that has survived a gauntlet of

performance and ultrasound measures.

Please accept our cordial invitation to join us on March 11th, in

Detroit Lakes, MN for this important Angus event.

Sincerely,

Al & Jeanne Conover Dave Sweeney
