What are Maine-Anjou's disadvantages

Help Support CattleToday:

A couple main ones would be tendancy to have large calves (associated birth problems) and too lean of carcasses, not enough marbling at an early age.

It depends on what you plan to do with the cattle, commercial, seedstock, show??? But size, calving ease, slow finishing in the feedlot are some disadvantages that come to mind.

They also forgot to mention that they are slow at birth, stupid, not very marketable, etc. You will go broke trying to raise them commercially. The only thing they are good for that I know of is for showing
