[QUOTE="txshowmom, post: 50474, member: 380"] We have a few. We use them to try top get show steers. I do think that a good Maine bull (not a club calf type) can improve a crossbred herd by putting more bone and thickness in them. Some people (me included) have cattle that are IMO the equivalent of a "mutt" because they have been crossed so many times and have lost a lot of desirable traits. A Maine bull will add thickness (which means more $$$ at the salebarn) and more bone. Some of you will argue that you don't eat the bone so who cares. I care for one. A calf or cow or bull or whatever is only as good as the wheels that move it. A good structurally correct cow needs good bone. Plus bone weights more so you have the advantage of higher weights at the salebarn, again more $$$. [/QUOTE]
