MAINE-ANJOU Headquarters

Happy New Year! I hope that you and your crew had a blessed holiday season. We now have 2024 behind us, and we will have brighter days in the future. I am thankful to work every day for you and this outstanding breed of cattle; there are many things that we have to look forward to, starting with the Cattlemen’s Congress, the National Western, and the National Maine-Anjou Show and Annual Meeting at the Fort Worth Stock Show. Participation will be extremely high, and the anticipation for these significant AMAA events has motivated us to make 2025 the best year to date for MAINE-ANJOU.

This past year has brought great recognition to the Maine-Anjou breed. We have seen more Maine genetics be at the very top of the toughest shows in the country. Whether it has been in supreme and top five backdrops for the females or in many of the champion market steers’ lineage, we have seen Maine at the top of the list. We are also very excited to see how the research project with Texas Tech reveals the findings of over 18,000 pieces of data collected on Maine cattle. A large portion of this data will, in turn, be included in our genetic evaluations moving forward, which will be the largest-ever influx of collected data introduced to our evaluation. What does this mean? Not only can the project identify

the strengths and softer spots of our cattle, but it can also increase the accuracy and improve the predictability of our EPDs.   It is an exciting time to be in the Maine business, and as we look to the future, a couple of key goals that our staff would like to focus on for 2025 are as follows. Increase industry acceptability and improve the perception of Maine-Anjou.

- Increase Visibility: Maine cattle have much to offer the industry, and we must let cattlemen know that the Modern Maine Anjou can help any cowherd walking. We are more than a show breed; give us a chance!

- Commercial Buyer Perception: our cattle often get pigeonholed as only club calves at the market, which gives the buyers a chance to discount. Today, Maine cattle are so much more right for the beef industry, and we have to educate people about how our genetics can perform in the feedlot and on the rail. Being mindful of how we market our cattle, we will attempt to inform the sales outlets about what the Modern Maine Anjou is and what it can do. The feedlot operators love our cattle, and they do exceptionally well on the rail, but the points in between are where we have to improve our name. We can do this!

- Adopt Technology: we as a breed must better utilize the tools available for cattlemen today. DNA/Genomics is one place that we can grow and have more information available to not only use for selection in our herds but also for potential buyers (They expect this information, and in order to gain market share, we need to provide it.)

We have reasonably priced genomic tests available, and if you have any questions on

how to implement this in your herd, please visit with Rylee or Josh. We recommend young herd sires, donors, and high-use herd bulls as great places to start.

So, as breeders, great work, and please stay the course. We are on the correct path. The ingredients needed to reach our destination are progressive genetics, leveraging science and genomics, and ramping up your local marketing. Traveling throughout the country, many people recognize the “Modern Maine Anjou” and what it can bring to the industry.

The Cattleman’s Congress will be an excellent event for Maine-Anjou, so please consider joining us in Oklahoma City on January 8- 12. We start Thursday, January 9th, with our Sale Cattle Evaluation at 2 p.m. Friday, January 10th, will be the Maine Angus and MaineTainer show; on Saturday, January 11th, the Pen Bull and Heifer Shows, the Bright Lights Sale, and the Maine Exchange Sale. Sunday, January 12th, will be the High Maine and Fullblood shows.

The National Western will fire up that following week with the Pen Bull Show on Friday, January. We will have the Open and Junior Maine Anjou shows and the Power in the Pens preview and sale on January 18th. Then, in the last week of January, we will move to the Fort Worth Livestock Show and Rodeo for the National Maine-Anjou Show and Annual Membership Meeting. I hope that you will join us for this great event.

For more information on all these events, please visit our homepage at maine-anjou. org, like us on Facebook, or contact us directly.  As always, if we can assist you in any way, please let us know. Thank you for a great year at AMAA, and we hope to see you again soon!

Take care, Blake

MAINE-ANJOU: Power without Sacrifice!

DIRECTOR OF PROMOTION & BREED ADVANCEMENT

The month of December has always been one I looked forward to growing up, as my birthday is on the 19th. As I age, I care less about my birthday and work harder to slow down time. For Maine-Anjou, December is packed full of production sales and a rush to finish the Bright Lights and Power in the Pens details. Writing this article, we’ll also work to squeeze in some time at Christmas with Abbie and my family before January takes me to OKC and Denver.

For Maine-Anjou, we will cap a strong year - and especially a Fall - of selling Maine-influenced cattle for a commanding price. 2024 has seen something in recent years that hasn’t happened often: a High Maine-Anjou being crowned Supreme Female at the American Royal and the North American International Livestock Exposition. Something that, in my tenure at Maine-Anjou, is a first and something I am incredibly proud of for our breed.

As far as the Fall calf run is concerned, prices are still very strong. The beef industry

is reaping the benefits of a stout market. You can see it in the cost of bred heifers in recent days. There is no question that heading into 2025, we will see strong optimism in the beef industry’s future.

Looking forward to both of our bull sales that will start the year off, it is always a strong offering the breeders bring together. Each January, these sales highlight the quality and depth of the breed. They showcase the movement we’ve made in the phenotypic department and the production traits that matter. Testicle size and performance have increased each year, and the scan data is always strong. More importantly, the scan data shows the muscle our breed is known for is still very much there and ready to be injected into the next generation.

Breed-leading genetics show up to Cattlemen’s Congress and the National Western. Each and every year, they command value and attention. We have seen a stronger value for High Maine genetics,

and Maine Angus cattle continue to gain more traction. As we look ahead, we hope you will join us to kick off the start of the year! Merry Christmas to you and your families; may you all have a blessed holiday season!

You may view your current and past invoices by selecting “Show Invoice History”. The information listed under invoice history are notes when work is held for payment, held for testing and when work was mailed. If you click “Download Work Detail” in red on the right side of the screen, it will provide your current fees charged.

DETAILED STATEMENT:

A Detailed Statement can be created with a date range. This is a good tool to use for tax purposes.

DONOR INVENTORY:

When cows are flushed from your herd, you may log the dates and count of inventory for each Donor.

INCOMPLETE REGISTRATION AND PERFORMANCE DATA:

If work is submitted for weaning and yearling, but not completed, AMAA will delete the entry within three business days and it will need to be added once the data can be provided. AMAA will also delete registrations that have incomplete fields such as blank dams, sires, birthdates, names, tattoos or not owners of the dam that is entered within two weeks. The exception would be entries for registration that are pending due to testing. Please be aware that once a registration has been entered and the “Validate” button is selected, it goes to the registrar to be completed, invoiced and closed. AMAA will make an attempt to contact you prior to deleting the entry via email.

NEW MEMBERS:

All new members must choose a program when submitting a new membership. The two programs that are offered are MAPP and Breeders Choice. More information on these two programs is available by visiting maine-anjou. org and clicking on “Member Services” “MAPP Agreement.” If a membership is submitted without choosing a program, the new member will be placed in the Breeders Choice program.

MEMBERSHIP ACCOUNTS

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

MAINE-ANJOU

Announcements, News & Events

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 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.

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 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

MAINE-ANJOU

Announcements, News & Events

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:

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

Fall 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 fall 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.

PAST DUE ACCOUNTS

Any unpaid accounts 30 days past due will receive a finance charge. Please make sure to pay for your registration work at the time of entry to avoid possible finance charges.

Registration work will be deleted if not paid within 90 days.

SELLERS

All sellers must have dues paid in order to transfer animals. The seller must sign in to authorize the sale of the animal(s). The buyer’s name, address and date of sale must be filled out. Please make sure that the date of sale is true and correct to avoid registration errors for the buyer in the future.

Hi, my name is John Haven Stalvey, and I’m currently serving as one of your At-Large directors. I grew up in South Georgia in the small town of Alapaha. From a young age, you could find me on a tractor, at the sale barn, or working cattle with my grandfather. This is where my passion for the livestock industry and the Maine-Anjou breed began. When I turned four years old, my parents decided to buy me my first show heifer, and since then, I haven’t looked back. I took that heifer and began to build my program with my four siblings focused on Maine genetics. We started attending shows around the country, including the Maine-Anjou and Chianina Junior National in 2019 and found the perfect family within the Junior Maine -Anjou program. The junior national offers a unique blend of opportunities for juniors of all ages, from the daily kid activities to the various contests, including salesmanship and the fitting contest. There is truly something for everyone. The Maine-Anjou and Chianina Junior National are sure to be a week filled with action and high-quality people and cattle alike. In 2025, the junior national will be Feelin’ Lucky In Kentucky during the week of June 20-26 in Louisville, Ky. We would love to see all of our juniors this week and at the MAINE event, which will be held July 22-25 in Tampa, Florida. Those who have attended the MAINE event in the past know that this is one of the

top networking opportunities for juniors in the livestock industry. It allows exhibitors to see others from around the nation and learn about different agricultural industry sectors in various parts of the country. This year’s event is set to be held in the sunshine state of Florida, which will afford attendees the incredible opportunity to see a completely different and unique environment while getting to tour and learn about some of the best agricultural facilities in the state. Undoubtedly, events like the Maine and Chianina Junior National and MAINE event would not be possible without our wonderful sponsors. We want to thank our generous calendar sponsors and all who donate to support the programs each year. To learn more about junior national, the Maine event, or other upcoming activities, visit MaineAnjou.org.
