[QUOTE="shortyjock89, post: 387754, member: 6176"] Wow, you guys are hard on the ol Maines! haha Nah, but really, I like them. We have a couple and they are really good mothers. Now I don't know if you guys are talking about the Red and White Fullbloods, or the Black or Red percentages/purebreds, but there is a big difference. Fullbloods: BIG Red/White. They look like a bald Shorthorn on Steroids. These are the cattle that came from France. Originated from the Durham (shorthorn) and Mancelle cattle. I konw most of you know this, but I feel like giving a history haha. The most popular of all the Fullbloods is probably Cunia. Other good ones are Novino, Covino, Eclad, and Eclat. They are really big cattle, but they cross well with Angus, Shorthorn, and Simmentals. Lots of Muscle, bone, and usually pretty good front ends. Our fullbloods never had any trouble calving and we had them when they first came to America (we got our first one in '74 dad says. Percentage/Purebred: These cattle can be black, red, roan, or Red/White. These are the cattle that are predominate in the show ring today. They tend to have good hair, decent udder, and good bone. I'll admit, some of them are really hard calvers, but you'll get that in every breed. I find that the Percentage/Purebred Maines cross REALLY well with our Shorthorns.
