[QUOTE="Busterz, post: 637070, member: 7999"] I've got some Maine x Angus cows. They seem to do fine out here on short grass. I haven't got any feed yard data on the calves back yet but they throw nice looking calves and there are always a couple that look like they could be show cattle. I don't know how you go about finding cattle like these, I just happened across them at the sale barn. But I tried for a while to find someone producing commercial type maines or maine x angus and almost ever breeder you come across is doing club calf to some extent. So it tough to tell how much focus is being placed on commercial production v. club calf production. I think there is a guy in Oregon who has a fairly large herd that maybe have a lot of commercial focus but I can't remember his name. And there is a place called Brushy Park that I think is in South Dakota. And I think there is a guy in Oklahoma who has a herd of some size. If you get RFDTV you might have seen the "Cattle Show". There was one with Maine Breeders on it a while back. You might got to RFD TV and see if they have that show archived or something. You could try their association also. [/QUOTE]
