ON THE COVER
INSIDE
Countless nights with little to no sleep, mother nature, the long days, and the short nights. Good grass years and short grass years, enough rain and drought. We’ve lived it, we still live it, cattle are our life, our passion. We know the importance of maternal instinct when it’s ten below, of calf-hood vigor, a good udder, sound footed, and the longevity to see you through. Cow power matters, doability and stayability, we believe in it, we select for it, and it guides us in every decision we make on our cow base. Experience the Griswold Difference.

MAINE-ANJOU Headquarters
M. BLAKE NELSON EXECUTIVE VICE PRESIDENT
I hope your spring is off to a good start and you survived the winter weather. Bull sales and shows are in full swing now, and I know many of you are busy with spring calving. The Cattlemen’s Congress and the National Western Stock Shows were significant events for Maine-Anjou, with great shows at both. The Bright Lights Sale was as strong, top-to-bottom, as it has been recently, and the Maine Exchange was record-setting. The Power in the Pens Sale has been our most substantial sale in Denver since 2021. The interest in sales over the last few months has been very strong. Some of the sales we have attended in South Dakota, Iowa, and Oklahoma have all been strong, and the offerings have been rewarded. New faces and former breeders circled back at these sales to see what the Modern MaineAnjou offers. 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 into set the market value of that animal for that day. As breeders, we think about all these things, and some operations vary in what they emphasize or focus on when creating the next generation at their farm. This topic is forever debatable, but Josh and I have spent much time studying and debating what cattlemen are interested in
and buying Maine-Anjou genetics want. Unsurprisingly, we see phenotype as the first sort for most; then, we see the paperwork come into play. We know that Maine-Anjou can more quickly enhance the physical attributes of an animal than any breed. Still, to get as much value for our seedstock as possible, 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. Still, as a breed, we need to strengthen our data 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 buy 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...) I guess where I am going with
this is that all of us need to put ourselves in the customer’s shoes. If we are the consumers, we all can get the best value. Cattlemen are no different and do not mind paying extra for their wants. You, the Maine breeders, have done a great job of improving the breed’s physical attributes, 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.
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 utilize Maine in their programs.
The National Show and Annual Membership meeting were held at Fort Worth and were greatly attended and supported. I would like to welcome new Board of Directors John Grauer, Ohio, Nick Beauprez, Colorado, Brian Fox, Minnesota, and Jirl Buck, Oklahoma, to the board. 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 down the road!
Take care, Blake
MAINE-ANJOU-Power Without Sacrifice!

DIRECTOR OF PROMOTION & BREED ADVANCEMENT
The end of December and beginning of January proved to be a strong and decisive victory for Maine-Anjou acceptance and value. It started with commanding bred heifer sales in the latter half of December and finished with national meetings in Ft. Worth – where membership found out that registrations are up, Junior membership continues on an upward trajectory, and we are well into our research project (The Maternal Initiative) which will see a strong influx in Maine-Anjou data and growth in our EPD profile. Cattles sales for both The Bright Lights and Power in the Pens saw the strongest averages and the most consistent selling we have seen in the last few years; the search is still strong for calving ease genetics that are found in an elite package. We still have plenty of Maine Anjou sales coming our way as we head toward the middle of February. With warmer temperatures on the horizon, we hope to see the same kind of uptake we were recently a part of at the end of December and start of January. I’d be remiss not to mention that High Percentage Maine genetics,
more specifically 3/4s and higher, are in rather strong demand. Folks are actively searching our breed to create progression and build on their current herds. Without question, lower percentage cattle still have tremendous value but there is something to be said about Blake’s pre-game speech at most sales. ‘If you aren’t familiar with our herdbook, then its important to note. If you want to turn your herd over using MaineAnjou bulls that are at least a ½ blood or higher, you can register that first generation right away.”
We’ve seen strong demand in the beef industry across the board. Feeder calf prices are the strongest they have been in recent years, and cull cow prices are the same way. It’s been a year for forward movement, paying notes off, and strengthening the base for cow-calf producers. We are in a cycle that’s clear and the end of that cycle … well there’s no telling when that’ll be. But, at least for now, we can gain profit and push ahead.
As we look toward the Spring female and cow sales, along the with ending of the run on bull sales, don’t hesitate to call on us if
you’re in the search of something specific. We are focused on helping our breeders and followers grow, progress, and create the product they have in mind. The 2025 Sire Catalog is on the horizon, and for us it’s important to seek out, find, and help promote the leading Maine-Anjou genetics!

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 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
MAINE-ANJOU
Announcements, News & Events
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 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
MAINE-ANJOU
Announcements, News & Events
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 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
Please note that the turnaround time for defect testing is approximately 3-4 weeks. Parentage testing may take up to six weeks. We strongly recommend ordering any tests you need as soon as possible when preparing for shows or sales to avoid delays. For assistance with ordering, please reach out to 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.
• DNA sample pulls will incur an additional fee of $5. If the existing DNA sample is stored at the lab and has to be pulled for additional testing, there will be a DNA sample pull fee.

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. Any unpaid work will be deleted if not paid within 90 days. Please log in to your online account to check your balance. Work is considered past due if not paid within 30 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. To avoid higher transfer fees it is recommended that the seller send the transfer with payment as soon as possible.

MICHAEL KENNETH HANNA 1945-2025
Michael Kennith Hanna, known affectionately as Mike passed away on September 6, 2024, at the age of 78 in Midlothian, Texas. Born on September 17, 1945, Mike devoted much of his life to the love and care of his family and his career. His life was a study in reliability and perseverance. While ever-respectful, thoughtful and kind to all, it wasn’t difficult to determine where he stood on most things, as his moral compass never wavered.
Mike spent his early adult years working alongside his father at Hanna Iron Works before dedicating 40 years to the steel industry at Chapparal Steel/Gerdau. His commitment to his work was only outshone by his deep love and dedication to his family and an affection for animals, a passion shared with his wife, Sandee. Together, they raised and dotingly cared for hundreds of animals over the years, highlighting Mike’s compassion and generosity.
A skilled craftsman and mechanic, Mike was known for his ability to repair and rebuild almost anything, a testament to his ingenuity and resourcefulness. Though lesser-known, Mike held artistic talents that were expressed primarily in his late teens and early twenties when he studied and created many impressive works of art.
He leaves behind his loving wife of 58 years, Sandee, his son, Blake Hanna and wife Heidi, and was known as “Pops” by his granddaughters, Reilly Erin Hanna and Campbell Claire Hanna. He is also survived by his sister, Myrna Jane Arrington, brother-in-law, Mike Claunch and wife Deanna, nephews Keith Arrington and wife Debbie and their three children, Kevin Arrington and wife Cheryl and their two children, Chad Claunch and wife Natalie and their child, as well as Niece Angie Renfro and husband Brett and their three children. All will dearly miss his easy, persistent smile and loving spirit.
Mike was preceded in death by his parents, Bobbie Cybolene and Oliver Kennith Hanna, and brother-in-law, Ken Arrington.
Mike’s legacy of kindness, generosity of self, perseverance, and joy will be cherished and remembered by all who knew him.

AMAA ANNUAL MEMBERSHIP DUES
Annual dues must be paid by Dec. 31, 2023. You must be an active member of the AMAA to register and transfer cattle.
ADULT MEMBERSHIP: $150 JUNIOR MEMBERSHIP: $25
The adult membership dues include a subscription to the Voice. Enclose an additional $40 to get the Voice first class.
UPDATED MEMBERSHIP FEES
The American Maine-Anjou Association (AMAA) Board of Directors held its spring meeting in April. Discussion was held regarding rising costs and how it has affected the day-to-day operations. The AMAA has managed to keep registration rates the same for nearly ten years. Rather than increasing registration fees, the motion was made to increase the adult membership rates to $150. Those that paid 2023 dues prior to July 1, 2023 will be assessed a $50 service fee. AMAA staff has started the billing process. Please return the payment within 30 days of the invoice date. Any account renewed or applied for after July 1, 2023 will pay the new adult membership rate. Starting January 1, 2024 all adult memberships/dues will be $150.
The board also motioned to raise the junior memberships from $25 to $50 starting January 1, 2024.
By increasing these fees, the AMAA will be able to continue offering the same quality service the membership is used to receiving while also mitigating the rising operating costs the AMAA has faced. Membership renewal notices will be mailed starting in October.
**NOTE - Junior & Adult dues must be current to exhibit at any of the five national showsAmerican Royal, North American International Livestock Expo (NAILE), Cattlemen’s Congress, National Western Stock Show & Fort Worth**

Lilly Christian, Oklahoma & Anna Belle Altman, Minnesota
Hi, my name is Emma Yochum, and I’m honored to serve as a Region 1 Director for the American Junior Maine-Anjou Association. I live on a small cow-calf operation and soybean farm in southern Ohio with my parents and younger brother, where we raise Maine-Anjou, Chianina, and Chi-Angus cattle. I am a graduating senior who will attend Oklahoma State University this fall to major in Agricultural Economics and Actuarial Science. While I’m excited for this next chapter, my passion for the Maine-Anjou breed and the livestock industry will remain a core part of my life.
My love for the Maine-Anjou breed began early, as my grandpa and dad primarily raised crossbred cattle with Maine-influence. In 2014, my first MaineTainer heifer was born on our farm, and the following year, thanks to a past Junior Board member’s family, I attended my first National Junior Heifer Show in Springfield, IL. From that first show—competing in the fitting contest, water fight, and national showmanship competition—I knew I had found my home in the Maine-Anjou family. Since then, my family hasn’t missed an opportunity to load up the trailer and head to Junior Nationals. This event has given us lifelong friendships and invaluable opportunities to grow our herd and knowledge. My involvement in the breed has extended beyond the show ring, as
I’ve had the privilege of serving as the National Maine-Anjou Princess and National Maine-Anjou Queen. Representing this incredible breed in those roles deepened my appreciation for the association and its people.
We’re gearing up for “Feelin Lucky in Kentucky” for the 2025 National Junior Heifer Show, June 20–26! Preparations are in full swing, and we’re looking for sponsors to support our Division Champions, Reserve Champions, and Overall Top 5 awards. If you’d like to see your logo on these banners and support this event, contact any AJMAA staff member or Junior Board member. Additionally, please mark your calendars for our online fundraiser auction on March 4th, hosted on SC Online Sales. This auction offers a variety of items—something for everyone in the family! Whether you’re looking for cattle genetics, farm essentials, apparel, or unique gifts, there’s something for you. All proceeds benefit Junior National, so bid high and often to support this great cause!
Junior National has given me so much over the years, and I can’t wait to be part of another fantastic show this summer. I hope to see you in Kentucky—whether it’s in the showring, a contest, or even a water fight!
