[QUOTE="aussie_cowgirl, post: 725845, member: 1279"] Australians seem to be pretty conservative so we hardly ever had any luck with them. Because the FB Maines are so rare now days finding good AI sires was difficult. Unfortunately I think the FB Maines will die out. Next time I'm in France I may actually see if I can find anything good and try and bring something home. Because they are a good little breed. I always found they had quite an interesting growth pattern too. We would show them at 9mths to sometimes 24 months and they were always quite well fleshed out. But then I had a little bull I fed and trained that I found out got to 1300kg. So they actually seem to mature later but still have good growth right from weaning. They're traditionally dual purpose, so milk wise they're great, as you can see with the lactating cow. [/QUOTE]
