MAINE-ANJOU Headquarters
M. BLAKE NELSON EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
Greetings,
I hope that your spring is off to a good start and you have survived the winter weather. With bull sales, calving, and shows in full swing, I know many of you are keeping busy! The Cattlemen’s Congress, the National Wester and Fort Worth Stock Shows all turned out to be great events for Maine-Anjou with great turnouts at all. The Bright Lights sale was record setting and the Power in the Pens sale was as strong as it has been since 2020. We have also had a tremendous year here in the office with registrations being the highest since the early 2000s reaching over 14,000 head recorded.
The interest at the sales the last few months has been very strong. Most of the sales that we have attended and throughout the mid-west have all been high with the offerings being rewarded. 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. We have seen this year bring some new sire options available with fresh pedigrees from some of the most proven programs, please check out the 2026 AMAA Sire Directory, available early March, to see many of the AI sires available.
As a breed, we must continue to reach further with every mating and management decision. Please consider not only how these cattle will look at weaning, but also how they will contribute in future production. The short game is important to sell a calf, but the long game approach will do that and more importantly bring those customers back year after year. I not only challenge you, the Maine breeders, with this but also myself, our staff, and the board of directors with this approach for the continued growth and strengthening of Maine-Anjou!
To this point this year has proven that Maine-Anjou is back in the conversation within the industry, now we must all do our part to deliver the goods and show them why they should be utilizing Maine in their programs.
I would like to wrap up this headquarters with a staff update and thank you to Josh Cribbs. As some of you may have heard, Josh will be leaving AMAA and beginning a new role with 605 Sires. I first would like to express my personal appreciation to Josh and his family for their commitment and efforts to the Maine-Anjou breed. Many times Josh’s work was not seen by the general membership but myself, the staff
and the board recognizing his efforts over the last 9 years. His labor and promotion of the breed have been major contributors to seeing our highest amount of registrations and sale prices for Maine cattle since the early 2000s. Although I hate to see him go, I know he will continue to be a supporter of our members and their cattle. On behalf of the American Maine-Anjou Association we wish Josh and his family the very best and continued success in their future. Thank you, Josh!!
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 MAINE-ANJOU-Power Without Sacrifice!

DIRECTOR OF PROMOTION & BREED ADVANCEMENT
My story to becoming a part of the Maine-Anjou family started way back in high school. I grew up in Plant City, Florida, and come from a farming background - my family helped to settle that area for fruit and vegetable production. My dad had Angus cattle growing up and went on to become an ag teacher. My sister and I were afforded the opportunity to show and have livestock growing up. When I was a junior in high school, I went to the Connors State Junior College Livestock Judging Camp and won a scholarship to judge there, that was when I met Blake for the first time. My decision to go to school there led me to Texas Tech, and eventually to South Dakota State where I became their Livestock Judging Coach and an instructor in the Animal Science Department.
When Blake called me to consider coming to work for Maine-Anjou, my wife had just taken a new job in Brookings and we had a newborn baby boy, our oldest son, Jesse. I told Blake I would love the opportunity, but just felt I needed to be fair to Abbie and her professional growth. Blake said he understood, and since he knew me quite well, wasn’t concerned with me working
remotely. So, I jumped at the opportunity. I remember traveling to Kansas City that Fall and stopping through Platte City. I showed Abbie where the office was. With great excitement, I knew I just had to go to work for this breed association.
The first time I officially came to the office for work, Blake had me park up front - which if you’ve ever been to the office we have a front parking lot and a back parking lot. The back parking lot is Lindsey’s domain, and then eventually Rylee’s too. I joke with Lindsey that she had to warm up to me for a couple years, before I knew it was safe to park in her lot!
All jokes aside the American Maine-Anjou Association (AMAA) has allowed me to grow and develop as a professional and a livestock evaluator. It has given me the opportunity to represent one of the most flourishing and exciting breeds available for cattleman to use. You all helped us welcome three of Abbie’s and my children to the world. And then, you all were there for me with the loss of my father. I’ve built friendships and relationships with people I respect and think very highly of. I was able to do this all while traveling the country and seeing the impact of Maine-Anjou and those who choose to use it, both far and wide.
I was honored to be a part of an office crew that made junior nationals happen through COVID. We created a second powerful Maine-Anjou bull sale in the month of January. Our team ushered in the Maine Angus program. We pulled together
and to this day still create the Maine-Anjou Sire Directory. We launched the start of a massive research project that we will continue to work on and finish for the membership. And for three consecutive years in a row, we’ve experienced over 10% growth in our registrations. All of this among many other things was made possible by the membership and their continued belief in the Association, and all of us that served on your behalf.
When I sat down to write this letter, I had honestly avoided it for a few hours because I knew it was going to be tough. I have grown to love the Maine-Anjou breed, and I’ll continue to advocate for it daily. I’ve spent these last nine years with a group of individuals focusing on how we could continue to carve out value and dedicate ourselves to a breed we all very much so love and value. As I leave the Maine-Anjou family for a chance to be closer to home and an opportunity to continue to grow professionally, I am reminded of all the memories, achievements, relationships built, and the family of coworkers that mean the world to me and my family.
I look forward to still being a part of the Maine-Anjou breed in different ways, and I want to sincerely say thank you to the breed, breeders, coworkers, and stakeholders that made my time with Maine-Anjou both rewarding and enjoyable!
It’s Powerful. It’s Progressive. It’s Modern Maine-Anjou!

The exception would be registration entries that are pending due to testing.

The account holder can only 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:

o Missing herd prefix and herd ID

o Date of sale
o Name of animal
o Payment
Make sure the person 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

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 breeder’s responsibility to give us a follow-up phone call to ensure 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, not on steers or foundation animals. They are valid from January 1 to December 31 of each year. Any unused block registration numbers will expire. Block purchases must be pre-paid prior to registration. If you want to purchase a block, please get in touch with us at 816-431-9950 Ext. 2.
FOUNDATION ANIMALS:
Non-registered bulls and females must be entered as foundation animals prior to progeny being registered. All current “P” (performance
only) cattle will be grandfathered 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. Adding a sire pedigree will be a one-time charge of $40. If the AMAA finds that another breeder has already paid for the pedigree, 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, ensure there is no 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 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, please register and transfer it in a timely manner to avoid extra charges and assure buyers they are purchasing from a reputable businessperson. Rush work will be done in the order received; a rush fee is currently $50 (covers eight heads). No work will be released until payment is complete. Rush work is processed ahead of the regular work received in our office and mailed by regular mail within one to two business days. We will do our best to complete the rush work received in our office by 2 p.m. (Monday through Friday). There is no same-day turnaround. If the work requires 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 before registering and on file with the AMAA. Carriers will no longer be registered but may be entered as foundation animals. All progeny out of a Foundation carrier bull must be tested free of that defect before registration. The animal will not be registered if registrations are submitted before testing has been completed. 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 animal’s 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. The registrar will review all Maine-Angus bulls applied for before converting to Maine-Angus. A Maine Angus paper will be blue, with Maine Angus under the Maine logo and MaineTainer across the center of the paper. The animal can be shown as a MaineTainer if no Maine Angus division is at the show.
MAINE ANGUS REQUIREMENTS
Maine Angus refers to cattle with the following characteristics:
• The animal will have between 3/8 MaineAnjou 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 that both parents must be registered at the AMAA, American Angus Association (AAA), or Red Angus Association of America (RAAA), which will provide validated lineage.
MAINE-ANJOU
Announcements, News & Events
• 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 underline and switch of the tail. Starting Jan. 1, 2019, all animals that have qualified and registered as Maine Angus before Jan. 1, 2019, will retain their Maine Angus papers but cannot exhibit/show in the Maine Angus division. However, these animals are eligible to show as MaineTainers.
OTHER AMAA UPDATES:
Please update any change in address, phone numbers, or e-mails with the AMAA by e-mailing us at maine@amaapc.com or 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:
Are you looking for cattle to purchase or consign? Do not forget to check out our consignment sale list at the top of the Digital Beef Cattle search screen called “Maine-Anjou Cattle for Sale.” Active breeders may use this tool to consign animals if they have a login for Digital Beef.
DNA REMINDERS
The normal Neogen lab turnaround time is approximately 3 – 4 weeks. Turnaround times are longer for multiple tests on one sample. Turnaround times may also be extended on hair samples as it is more labor intensive to process the sample. We encourage you to submit samples as quickly as you can in order to avoid testing and registration delays.
- NEW – All samples turned in on a hair card will be charged an additional $5 per sample.
- NEW – All samples that must be pulled from inventory will be charged an additional $5 per sample for the sample pull fee.
- AMAA will accept blood cards, tissue sampling units (TSU), semen straws or hair cards.
- 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 deceased before a sample was procured, you must DNA, TH and PHA test all ET calves in order to register them.
PAST DUE ACCOUNTS
In June 2025, the AMAA Board of Directors implemented new payment guidelines affecting account access. Moving forward, the AMAA will no longer allow users to re-enter their account if services have been rendered but remain unpaid. Once logged out, users will be required to submit payment before regaining access.

SELLERS
All sellers must have dues paid to transfer animals. The seller must sign in to authorize the animal(s) sale. The buyer’s name, address, and date of purchase must be filled out. Please ensure that the date of sale is true and correct to avoid future registration errors for the buyer. To avoid higher transfer fees, it is recommended that the seller send the transfer with payment as soon as possible. If you are unsure if your dues have been paid, please get in touch with us before sending in transfers.
RENEWING DUES FOR FAMILIES WITH LINKED ACCOUNTS:
Accounts linked to a Master Account may renew their dues by:
1. Logging into their individual account
2. Navigating to the Associated tab
3. Selecting “Renew”
4. Submitting payment
HERD PREFIX NO LONGER REQUIRED
A recent AMAA Board decision will allow herd prefixes to be optional and will no longer be required when registering.
AMAA is diligently working with 701X to implement this change, however, until programming has been updated AMAA will still require the herd prefix to be entered. AMAA will post on social media and send out an email to all members once this change has been made.

Heritage Road
AMERICAN MAINE-ANJOU ASSOCIATION HALL OF FAME
The American Maine-Anjou Association (AMAA) Heritage Road honors those influential individuals who have made a lasting impact on the Maine-Anjou breed. Breeding programs recognized for this distinguished honor were operations that have been pioneers and have always strived to make the next generation better for Maine-Anjou. Chosen by the AMAA Board of Directors, each operation receiving this honor has a commemorative portrait that lines the halls of AMAA so we may always honor those breeding programs who came before us and paved the way for Maine-Anjou.

Hello everyone!
My name is AJ Pospichal. Last June I was elected to the junior board as an at-large director. Serving on the board has already given me a better appreciation for the amount of work that goes into creating opportunities for junior members. I have witnessed first hand the tremendous support from breeders, sponsors, and families who want to see junior members learn and succeed.
A big event coming up is the AJMAA Online Fundraiser on SC Online on March 3. This sale, along with generous donations, helps support the AJMAA and the junior national show. There are tons of great items available, and every bid directly helps provide opportunities for junior members. Be sure to check it out.
I can’t wait for the Maine-Anjou Junior National to come to my home state of Nebraska in June. Junior Nationals is always a great week whether you’ve attended for years
or it’s your first time. Between contests, shows, the Herdsman Gathering, and time spent with friends, there’s always something for everyone. Even if juniors don’t show an animal, they can still participate in the contests. More information can be found on the AJMAA Facebook page or the MaineAnjou web page.
Another highlight of the summer is the Maine-Anjou Industry Networking Event, better known as MAINE. This year it will be held July 21-24 in Iowa. This is always one of my favorite weeks of the entire year. I’ve made lifelong friends at MAINE, and I’ve built connections within the industry that I know will last well beyond my junior career. I would strongly encourage anyone who can attend to be there.
I’m grateful for the chance to serve as an AJMAA director and hope to see everyone this summer.
JULY 21-24, 2026 STAY TUNED!
