MAINE-ANJOU Headquarters

M. BLAKE NELSON EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT

Greetings,

I hope that your spring is off to a good start. Bull sales and shows are in full swing and I know many of you are keeping busy with spring calving. The month of January was a great month for Maine-Anjou with a very successful Bright Lights and Power In the Pen sales and fantastic shows at the Cattlemen’s Congress, National Western and Fort Worth Stock Shows.

The interest at the sales the last few months has been very strong. At these sales we are seeing some new faces and also some former breeders that are circling back to see what the Modern Maine-Anjou has to offer. As no surprise, you see that the animal’s quality and presentation are at the top of the list for most buyers and then we see pedigree, performance and data come in to set the market value of that animal for that day. I think as breeders we think about all of these things and some operations vary in what they emphasize or focus on when they are creating the next generation at their farm. This is a topic that is forever debatable, but Josh and I have spent much time studying and debating on what the cattlemen who are interested and buying Maine-Anjou genetics want.

To no surprise we see phenotype as the first sort for most, then we see the

paperwork come into play. We know that Maine-Anjou can quickly enhance the physical attributes of an animal better than any other breed, but in order to get as much value for our seedstock we have to supply the predictability and facts that will enhance the value no matter what our customer desires.

You often see Josh and I begging for data to be turned in on your herds so that we can build better genetic predictors through EPDs. We feel like the current genetics within our breed are as good as any breed when it comes to maximizing the cattle’s appearance and on hoof performance, but as a breed we need to strengthen our genetic estimates to appeal to a wider variety of cattlemen and increase the value of our product. Look at this from a marketing aspect, it is not any different than you going to buy a new one-ton dually and you can have the base model that will probably get the job done or you can get the King Ranch package that supplies convenience, comfort and performance enhancements that you are willing to pay the extra for. In the seedstock cattle business that is the base model (phenotype) and the enhanced package (high accuracy DNA EPDs, large amounts of data collected on offspring, outstanding

individual weights and scan data, etc.). Where I am going with this is that all of us need to put ourselves in the customer’s shoes. If we are the consumer how can we can get at the best value, cattlemen are no different and they also do not mind paying extra for their wants. As MaineAnjou breeders you have done a great job of improving the physical attributes of the breed and you have created market value. Now, let’s keep a common sense approach and take the next step to increase the price ceiling for our animals.

This year has proven that Maine-Anjou is back in the conversation within the industry and we must all do our part to deliver the goods and show them why they should be utilizing Maine-Anjou in their programs.

The new genetic evaluation has been completed by AGI and the new EPDs have been updated on Digital Beef for your animals, please check them out and let us know if you have any questions. As always, if we can assist you in anyway, please let us know. Thank you for a great year at AMAA and we hope to see you down the road!

Take care, Blake

DIRECTOR OF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT

It’s hard to believe that we are well into spring calving for most and starting to think about finishing up bull selling season. A strong focus now is the gathering of new and tried and true Maine-Anjou sires that have built our breed and will continue to in the years to come. In the last five years and since becoming a part of the American Maine-Anjou Association (AMAA) the growth we’ve seen in available genetics to be utilized around operations has been incredible. High Maine-Anjou genetics have been in strong demand, as evident at the start of the year with both the Bright Lights and Power in the Pens sales commanding strong value!

As we move into breeding season it speaks volumes for the dedication you as breeders have had to be able to supply multiple options of different pedigrees available to utilize. Look for the 2023 Sire catalog to come out mid-March and available semen distributors that will be able to fill your request.

Through Fall planning, we spent much time discussing the value of Maine-Anjou

and who utilizes it. This spring it became tremendously apparent that Maine-Anjou influenced cattle have strong significance and impact in the seedstock cattle world. Maine-Anjou cattle commanded premiums to be used in propagating purebred and hybrid seedstock and they have found the backdrop in multiple other breed uses as well. From the Bull Buyer, to the Bred female maker all the way through the Local 4Her, Maine-Anjou is becoming a go-to breed for multiple applications.

It’s ever apparent that quality still sells and brings a premium and without a doubt a cow family and profitable figures only drive the price further. This year more than ever we heard a strong calling for calving ease. Even in mature cows a herd sire prospect with a manageable birth weight figure finds high demand. Even in mature cows the extra assurance that you’re not going to struggle through the woes of calving season is being identified as a must have. It’s a crucial time for Maine-Anjou breeders as we look to the next decade ahead of us. The selection pressure we apply right now in the coming

months headed in to breeding season can make the difference three years from now and its protentional impact on the resulting generation.

As you look to warmer temperatures and green grass please reach out if you need assistance or are in search of something specific. We will be on the road in the coming months finishing up bull selling season and starting spring serd visits.

It’s Powerful! It’s Progressive! It’s Modern Maine-Anjou!

It is the AMAA policy to only share account information with those authorized on an active account, no matter the age of the account holder. The account holder must provide written permission to add a person(s) to their account to transfer and register on their behalf. Anyone that is not authorized on an account will not be provided passwords or invoice information no matter the age or relation to the account holder. The account holder is the only one that can call or e-mail the AMAA directly to remove or add any person(s) to/from their account. Any authorized person on the account can register, transfer, obtain or change passwords once they are on the account.

HELPFUL TIPS WHEN REGISTERING:

To avoid delays in your registration work during our busy season follow the tips below.

Double check that all blanks and information are correct and complete before mailing or submitting online. Things most commonly missed are:

o Missing herd prefix and herd ID

o Birthdates

o Date of sale

o Name of animal

o Payment

Make sure the person that is registering the animal owns the dam with the exception of ET

calves. If an ET calf, make sure the donor dam has DNA verified and has been PHA & TH tested with the results on file. If you are checking on testing work please e-mail Rylee at rylee@ amaapc.com. When calling or e-mailing please have the name and breeder number of the person submitting the work.

When registering annual active dams for performance only animals please submit them online if you have the capabilities. This will help the registrar processing tremendously.

We appreciate you and your business and want to make sure that the registration process runs as smooth as possible. Thank you in advance for your extra time in making sure all work is correct, complete and received in a timely manner.

REGISTRATIONS:

The AMAA will assess a $5 fee for any registration work received by fax, e-mail or by mail. To avoid this fee, please log into your online Digital Beef account to complete all registration work. New forms can be downloaded from our main webpage under Digital Beef/Registrations – Printable Forms. If you need assistance logging into your online account please contact us at maine@amaapc.com.

If work is faxed or e-mailed it is the responsibility of the breeder to give us a follow up phone call to make sure that the work is legible and to cover all fees.

BLOCK REGISTRATION DISCOUNTS:

Want to save on registration costs? Consider pre-paying for a block of registrations. The cost savings are as follows:

• 15 head - 12%

• 25 head - 15%

• 50 head - 20%

• 75 head - 25%

• 100 head - 30%

Blocks may only be used on animals under 13 months of age and may not be used on steers or foundation animals. Blocks will only be valid

MAINE-ANJOU

Announcements, News & Events

from January 1 - December 31 of each year. Any unused block registration numbers will expire. Block purchases must be pre-paid for prior to registering. If you are interested in purchasing a block, please contact us at 816-431-9950 Ext. 2.

MAPP INVENTORIES

Anyone that did not report their 2023 MAPP inventory by Dec. 15, 2022 should have received an invoice. All payments must be received within 30 days of the invoice date. If the balance is not paid within 30 days of the invoice date, the account will be removed from the MAPP program. A $50 reactivation fee plus enrollment fees will apply in order to be placed back into the program.

FOUNDATION ANIMALS:

Non-registered bulls and females must be entered as a foundation animal prior to progeny being registered. All current “P” (performance only) cattle will be grand-fathered into the program. If the sire is an AI sire and registered at another breed association, the pedigree and testing must be on file with the AMAA. The charge to add a sire pedigree will be a onetime charge of $40. If the AMAA finds that the pedigree has already been paid for by another breeder, the $40 charge will not be applied. Dams registered at another breed association may also be added for a one-time charge of $25. See the new self-billing sheet for foundation fees.

ONLINE TRANSFERS:

When transferring an animal online make sure there is not a member number already created for the buyer. Creating more than one number for an individual creates registration problems later. If you find the buyer in the system at a different address please notify the buyer first to confirm the address and then notify the AMAA office to update the account. It is always a good idea to always search for the buyer using the search tool before doing the work, that way if they have a different address

it is caught before entering the registration and transfer.

When creating a new profile for a buyer please make sure to never give a junior a farm name. Please enter the junior’s name on the farm line and also as the contact.

RUSH ORDERS:

If you are selling an animal, we ask that you register and transfer the animal in a timely manner to avoid extra charges and to assure buyers they are purchasing from a reputable business person.

Rushes will be done in the order received; a rush fee is currently $50 (covers eight head). No work will be released until payment is complete. Rush work is processed ahead of the regular work that is received in our office and mailed by regular mail within one to two business days. We will do our best to complete rush work that is received in our office by 2 p.m. (Monday – Friday). There is no same-day turnaround. If requiring a registration number only, it will still be considered a rush as we still have to process the work to obtain the number.

BULL CALF REGISTRATION:

If registering a bull calf born after Jan. 1, 2014, it must be TH/PHA free by parentage or have testing completed prior to registering and on file with the AMAA. Carriers will no longer be registered, but may be entered as a foundation animal. All progeny out of a Foundation carrier bull needs to be tested free of that defect prior to registration. If registrations are submitted before testing has been completed, the animal will not be registered. Instead the animal will be given a performance number. Once the animal has been tested the registration will be completed at the regular rate based on the animals age at the time the test is completed. Once the animal has been tested the registration may be completed at the regular rate. Please plan accordingly as testing can take up to three or four weeks.

MAINE ANGUS PAPERS:

Digital Beef will automatically convert cow/ heifer registrations to Maine-Angus if they qualify. All Maine-Angus bulls applied for will be reviewed by the registrar prior to converting to MaineAngus. A Maine Angus paper will be blue in color, have Maine Angus under the Maine logo, and will have MaineTainer across the center of the paper. The animal can be shown as a MaineTainer if there is not a Maine Angus division at the show.

MAINE/ANGUS REQUIREMENTS

• Maine Angus refers to cattle with the following characteristics:

• The animal will have between 3/8 Maine-Anjou to 5/8 Maine-Anjou blood and have between 3/8 registered Angus to 5/8 registered Angus and/or registered Red Angus blood.

• The standard is both parents must be registered at the AMAA, American Angus Association (AAA) or Red Angus Association of America (RAAA) will provide validated lineage.

• Qualifying cattle can have no more than 1/8 of non-registered blood or other breeds.

• A registered Maine Angus bull must be proven free of genetic defects PHA and TH. Depending on the Maine Angus bull’s genetic makeup, the individual must also be proven free of known Angus lethal genetic defects (Ex. AM, NH and CA) and/or known lethal Red Angus genetic defects (Ex. AM, NH, CA and OS) whether determined by pedigree or test.

• A registered Maine Angus female must be proven free of PHA and TH, whether identified by pedigree or test.

MAINE ANGUS COLOR REQUIREMENTS:

• All qualifying individuals will be predominately solid black or red in color. White markings are only allowed on the

MAINE-ANJOU

Announcements, News & Events

underline and switch of the tail.

• Starting Jan. 1, 2019 all animals that have qualified and registered as Maine Angus prior to Jan. 1, 2019 will retain their Maine Angus papers but will not be able to exhibit/show in the Maine Angus division, however, these animals are eligible to show as MaineTainers.

OTHER AMAA UPDATES:

Please make sure to update any change in address, phone numbers or e-mails with the AMAA by e-mailing us at maine@amaapc.com, or by logging into your online account. If you have a credit card on file and have received a new card, please make sure to call us to replace the new card on file. Credit cards are not automatically saved when paying online.

MAINE-ANJOU CATTLE FOR SALE:

Looking for cattle to purchase or consign? Do not forget to check out our consignment sale list located at the top of the Digital Beef Cattle search screen called “Maine-Anjou Cattle for Sale”. Active breeders may use this tool at any time to consign animals as long as you have a login for Digital Beef.

NATIONAL SHOWS

Anyone showing in a junior or open class at the national level must be an active member with the AMAA or American Maine-Anjou Junior Association (AJMAA). Junior members exhibiting at these shows must be the sole owner of the animal they are showing.

DNA, TH AND PHA REQUIREMENTS:

Prior to registering any ET calves, all donor dams (including commercial or nonregistered dams) must have DNA, TH and PHA on file in our office. Also, all AI sires are required to have the same on file. Therefore, our office will hold any ET registrations submitted out of dams without testing on file as well as all registrations out of AI sires

that do not have complete testing on file.

If the donor dam is deceased and not tested, we do require that the ET(s) have the tests done, in the absence of the donor’s records.

To submit a sample through the association, please follow the DNA request instructions on our website, maine-anjou. org, under the Genetics/Testing tab. Samples must be on a hair card, blood card or TSU in order to be submitted.

Sampling supplies can be ordered on our website under the Genetics/Testing tab. Animals must be in the AMAA herd book before testing can be requested.

Please note that testing takes approximately 3-4 weeks from the time the sample arrives at the lab.

We would like to start sending the test results by e-mail only, please make sure we have an up-to-date e-mail address for you, if applicable.

DNA REMINDERS

Winter Sale Season is approaching and extended test times are expected. Please be aware that the Geneseek lab turnaround time is approximately 3-4 weeks on defect testing. Turnaround times are longer for multiple tests on one sample. Please be prepared when preparing for spring sales and shows that testing will take longer than normal. We would encourage you to start ordering the testing you need as soon as possible. For assistance with ordering please email Rylee at rylee@amaapc.com.

• NEW All samples turned in on a hair card will be charged an additional $5 per sample starting January 1, 2022.

• NEW The Panel #3 has dropped to $95 and this is the most inclusive test offered through AMAA. With this test you will receive 100 thousand DNA markers which includes parentage as well as genomics. The panel also includes several defect tests including TH and PHA. This is the recommended choice for those wishing to improve their herd.

• AMAA will accept blood cards, tissue sampling units (TSU), semen straws or hair cards.

• All bulls born after January 1, 2014 must be TH and PHA free by test or pedigree in order to register. If a bull is found to be a carrier, he can register as a foundation or performance bull only, but all progeny will have to test free of that defect in order to register. Foundation bulls will carry their Maine-Anjou percentage to their offspring.

• All A.I. sires regardless of breed and/or commercial, must have DNA, TH and PHA on file prior to registering any progeny.

• All donor dams must have DNA, TH and PHA on file prior to registering their ET calves. If a donor is dead before a sample was procured, you must DNA, TH and PHA test all ET calves in order to register them.

NEOGEN UPDATED PROCEDURES

The Neogen DNA lab has implemented new procedures regarding on hold orders. Samples must now be submitted to the lab within 30 days from the time of the order. Orders that are not received within 30 days will be deleted from their system. Samples that are received after the 30 days will experience delays in testing due to order recreation. It is recommended not to order the DNA testing until you have a sample procured and ready to submit. For DNA questions please contact Rylee Barber at Rylee@amaapc.com.

Jane enjoyed drinking coffee and spending every morning with her friends at the Connersville Community Center where she would also enjoy many lunches. She helped with the Annual Connersville Day and the many community dinners that took place once a month. Jane was also a proud member of the Chickasaw Nation and also enjoyed spending time with her friends at the Chickasaw Nation Community Center and was able to travel as a representative too many places including Washington D.C. over the years.

In addition to her parents, Jane is preceded in death by her husband, Tom Ferris; son, Glen Ferris and daughter, Janet Johnson; brother, Ream Hunt and sister, Patricia Scoggin.

Thank You!

January was a busy month of shows and sales for the American Maine-Anjou Association (AMAA). A highlight every year is the National Western Stock Show and hosting Maine-Anjou events in the historic Yards. A sale feature of this year’s Power In the Pens sale was Special Lot A. Special Lot A offered buyers the opportunity to purchase 1/3 embryo interest in two exciting half-blood Maine-Anjou females – LDSC Stella 152K and LDSC Shirley 155K. This special lot commanded a sale price of $200,000 and sold to the Schrag and Nikkel Partnership. A portion of this special lot is the largest lump sum gift received to the Reaching Beyond Maine-Anjou Foundation and will benefit the youth of this association and their programs for years to come.

The AJMAA is thankful and grateful for every donor and sponsorship we receive and know that we could not host our events without the generous support that is shown to our youth. Watch for a full story on the Gensini Family in the May/June/July issue of the Maine-Anjou Voice.

Hi, my name is Tyler Loudon or better known as T-Bone. I’m from southwest Iowa, and I am currently attending Oklahoma State University where I’m majoring in animal science with a minor in animal nutrition. I was brought up showing livestock. My parents showed and started me off at five years old with goats, cattle and hogs. Today, my family and I focus on Maines, Chis, Simmentals and Shorthorns. I have been going to junior nationals every year since I was six years old and my first Maine and Chi junior national was 2012 in Lima, Ohio. I have continued to attend at least two junior nationals every year. I am active in the Iowa Junior Maine-Anjou Association (the best in the nation!) and serve as one of their board members. I immediately wanted to be a part of the board after my first junior national. The board members took the time to get to know me and helped me at contests and in classes. The people of the Maine-Anjou breed have always made me feel at home. It really is the “Most fun junior national.”

I am fortunate to currently serve as an AtLarge director. I am now in my second year on the board and have done many things, from traveling all over the country to staying in my home state of Iowa and representing them in any way I can. I have had the chance to attend many of the conferences that have been held anywhere from YBIC to the MaineAnjou Industry Networking Event (MAINE)

that was held last year in Stillwater. Some of the highlights of my career in this breed and some of the others that I have been a part of are some of the places that I have been able to travel, North Dakota to Mississippi, and Kentucky to Arizona. Being a part of this association has made a difference in my life. The people involved with it have always encouraged me to do my best in whatever I do, even if it is fishing. It is also awesome how being kids is endorsed through our association. Anything from kickball to water balloon fights, there’s nothing wrong with being a kid, and I love that.

Junior Nationals are just around the corner. Do not forget to register and enter the contests. I have had some pretty good success in the contests over the years and I have some pretty cool prizes to show for it, let alone all the stuff I have learned along the way (like John Boddicker is NOT the Maine-Anjou princess). That’s why the board members are here; we are willing to help you or your kids to be more successful in any part of the junior national. I really encourage all members to GET INVOLVED. Whether that is joining the national board, or your state board, going to a judging camp or working on your photography. This association will recognize you and help you to achieve your goals. So, reach out if you’re in need of help or have questions and don’t forget that Maines are the best!
