welcome to power in the pens!
The tradition of the National Western and the “Yards” is undoubtedly upheld by the offering before you set to sell in the Power in the Pens! Each year, Maine-Anjou breeders assemble a deep and stout set for your evaluation. These cattle come from operations spanning the United States, allowing bull buyers to select and purchase cattle developed in a similar environment. This helps to ensure the cattle are the best fit for your operation and are equipped to handle their new environment.
This year’s offering comes from some of our breed’s most respected operations. These cattle are backed by the Power and consistency of some of the nation’s hottest and most valuable Maine-Anjou genetics. As we move towards the National Western, we invite you to join us in the Yards for the Power in the Pens live sale!
From all of us at the Association, we couldn’t be more grateful for your interest and time. In recent years, Maine-Anjou cattle have found success in the feed yard. The quality of the Power In the Pens offering upholds the standard of AI counterparts. It’s never been more apparent that this sale is becoming a source for breed leaders. More importantly, though, this offering pays respects to the past herd builders and AI sires that have come through the Yards before them and look to the future for the impact they will have. Please feel free to contact me as we approach January. Thank you again for your continued interest in Maine-Anjou.

This bull’s mother “Lot 1” has been a standout in production since day one. Her 2024 calf crop produced high sellers during the fall pasture bid-off tour in South Dakota that commanded $63,000, $60,000, $50,000, $41,000, $40,000, $30,000, $11,000 and $10,000. Little did Luke Doris and Brad Freking realize that this was just the beginning of the fame and fortune that “Lot 1” was bound to bring to their respective programs. The talk of the business was centered around a single lot on the 2022 Doris Cattle—the choice between two BBR Memphis Mafia 3E ET sisters out of “Lot 1.” The four-wheelers of Doris Cattle saw heavy use as crowds gathered to see the pair that was causing such a commotion. After a fierce bidding war, the right to choose between the sisters came with a $305,000 price tag. The winning bidder, the Gensini Family of Illinois, then requested to double their bid price to acquire full interest in both sisters for a staggering total of $610,000! This moderate made bull is stout featured, big body, and a running gear that will last the long haul. You don’t want to miss out on this opportunity.

If we were to survey industry leaders about who the industry’s MVP donor cow would be, we are willing to bet that the most popular answer would be “Kelli.” Her influence stretches much further than the trends of the business, and this seven-figure generating matron has proven that her quality stands the test of time. She has produced well over $1 million in progeny sales to date and with each calf crop furthers her distance at the top of the leader board. She is arguably the most decorated female in the business. When we Flushed Kelli 75-1 to Memphis Mafia we were pretty excited to see what her calves could do. This bull is a half sib to some of the most dominant donors in the Maine and Club Calf industry for example 1244, 2-75 and RCC 1 are all maternal sibs.

We cannot begin to explain how much Roxie has meant to our operation. She would definitely be considered the matriarch at Gold Standard Cattle Company. Just this year alone Roxie (Unstoppable x Strictly Business/ Heatseeker) calves have sold for $8,000, $6,500, $6,250 and $5,500. Roxie’s progeny are developing quite the presence in the yards in Denver. We have sold some 1/2 blood Simmental Roxie daughters on the One Only Sale over the last two years, but this is the first MaineTainer heifer out her that we have brought to yards and rightfully so. This heifer exudes quality in every aspect, and it starts at the ground. She is massive footed, and she carries that right into her bone work. The rest of her speaks for itself, just take a look at the picture and video. Walk this one into the ring, have some fun and then let her walk right into production and give you a great ROI.

WHAT IS MAINE ANGUS?
The Maine Angus program is an initiative created by the American Maine-Anjou Association (AMAA) to showcase the complementation of Maine-Anjou genetics when crossed with Angus or Red Angus cattle. This program will reveal Maine-Anjou cattle’s ability to enhance feed efficiency and red meat yield when placed on British based genetics. This program should provide seedstock that will increase production and carcass yield through heterosis. The name Maine Angus is both strong and informative by stating exactly what breeds are present in said animal.
The standard requirement is that both parents must be registered at the AMAA, American Angus Association (AAA) or Red Angus Association of America (RAAA). This will provide confirmed lineage and genetic information along with valuable EPDs. Through a partnership with the AAA our EPDs will be updated with the latest genetic evaluation by the AAA which will provide the breeders and customers the best genetic prediction available. This program is focused on producing quality registered offspring that will aid in the incorporation of Maine-Anjou genetics into the mainstream of the USA beef sector.
PROGRAM STANDARDS
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. Both parents must be registered at the AMAA, AAA or RAAA to confirm lineage.
maine angus
• 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 bypedigree or test.
MAINE ANGUS COLOR STANDARDS
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. Feet and legs must be solid black or red.
NOTE: All Maine Angus animals that do not meet the color requirment, but were registered prior to Jan. 1, 2019, will retain their Maine Angus papers. They will not be able to exhibit/ show in the Maine Angus division, but are still eligible to show as MaineTainers.
If an animal is registered Maine Angus, but is found to not meet the color requirements, they will be reverted to a MaineTainer registration.
