[QUOTE="AAOK, post: 57672, member: 861"] That man didn't know what he was talking about. True, fullbood Maine-Anjou are big, but not too big and certainly don't have problems with thier legs holding up. As for size, you're not going to see a fullblood Maine steer win any shows, but they sure will cut! The cows and bulls are tremendous. The Maine-Anjou is a dual prupose breed in France. Every other cow nurses two calves and the others are milked. You can't do that with your British or American breeds. Plus, the color and pattern genes are recessive, so it's easy to get as high as a 31/32 purebred solid black. And there's no little, fine boned, hard keeping cows when you add a couple of shots of Maine to just about any breed. The most popular cow in the Club Calf industry right now is a Maine/Simm/Angus cross. I have a few and they are making fantastic cows. the point is: you can have great crossbreds without great fullbloods. [/QUOTE]
