About Manitou Maine-Anjou
In the Maine-Anjou industry there is a movement back to the basics, being Fullblood genetics. As a Maine-Anjou breeder since 1970, we have always maintained that the power of the breed is primarily in Fullbloods. Many breeders are once again, or for the first time, realizing this to be true. Their docility, feed efficiency, and high yield with large loin areas are definitely a must in today's beef industry.
We have consistently used Fullblood herd sires. Our Fullblood program is one of a few remaining Fullblood herds which offers you the opportunity to purchase cattle from some excellent blood lines.
Our fullblood program has produced one of the very best fullblood herds in Canada which offers you the opportunity to purchase some excellent bloodlines.

We attended the Ft. Worth Stockshow in January and saw the Maine-Anjou show. It was nice to see a ring full of red and white Maine-Anjou cattle and to meet with the people who are raising them. Quite the show - good cattle and great people.

When you travel through western France, it is a real treat to see field after field of true Maine Anjou cattle. The beauty of this breed is everywhere. It is amazing to experience the gentleness of this cattle in their native country. The beef from this breed is all consumed in France. It still remains the largest breed, by size, in France. It was interesting as well to be on farms that I visited in the early 1970s.

We have 13 calves born from new French bloodlines we brought from 2009. We are amazed at how good these calves are. They have great tops, some are super thick, others extremely long with performance to boot! We also had 2 sets of twin heifers as well. The 5 new bloodlines are Tendon, Tango, Sarazin, Sultan and Spaghetti. See pictures in our Gallery under New French Breeding.
