[QUOTE="knabe, post: 549285, member: 6727"] the maine bull above is sorely lacking. a maine bull could look like the one's posted on [url=http://www.browarny.com/legacy/gallery/Famous_Bulls/default.asp]http://www.browarny.com/legacy/gallery/ ... efault.asp[/url] the third row down in the middle is a maine bull called vainqueur, which is french for winner. if you back up a couple of pages on that site, there are some video's of some old bulls as well. i think browarny's have over 3 million archived photos from the 70's to the present and they are scanning all of them at maximum resolution and archiving them. they recognize they have a piece of history. they have both the animals and the people. vainqueur (never collected) had only 2 direct descendents come to america, a bull and a cow that i have found. i have a great grandson semen and at some point will flush some fullblood cows, maintain the offspring as fullbloods, and crossbreed them to my 5 cows who are being bred to two half brothers who carry both the male and female lines from this bull, as well as a full brother and sister of purebred maine's (blacks) further down in the pedigree which excel at soundness. blah blah blah. this line has a few of characteristics most maine's are missing. it will probably take me about 15-20 years since it's a hobby. oh well.
