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.

The U.S. National Show was held this year and it was great to see the Maine-anjou Show. As well, they have a fullblood show and there will be a fullblood class at the U.S. National Junior Show in Ohio. Great to see.
My feelings regarding the red & white cattle remain high. There is a problem in milk & performance in the black cattle and breeders need to go back to the real Maine-anjou.
When I see the r/w Maine influence in the Shorthorn barns at Ft. Worth, it is upsetting to think how far we all could have come if breeders had embraced the true r/w Maine-anjou cattle in North America.
