What does it take to qualify as a Maine Angus?

Maine Angus cattle must be between 3/8 – 5/8 Maine-Anjou and between 3/8 – 5/8 registered Angus and/or Red Angus blood. Both parents must be registered at the AMAA, AAA or RAAA to confirm lineage. Qualifying cattle can not have more than an 1/8 of non-registered blood or other breeds.

Maine Angus cattle must also be proven free of genetics defects PHA and TH and known Angus lethal defects. All qualifying individuals will be predominantly solid black or red in color. White markings are only allowed on the underline and switch of the tail. Feet and legs must be solid black or red.

The Maine Angus program showcases the complementation of the Maine-Anjou genetics when crossed with Angus or Red Angus cattle.
