LEADERS
Congratulations to the breeders and owners of this exclusive group! The sires that are listed meet the criteria set forth. Levels of accuracy and current use within the Maine-Anjou breed are key components in making this elite list. While the Maine-Anjou breed genetic trends have been somewhat flat, an increased use of Trait Leader genetics along with the reporting of accurate contemporary groups will go a very long way to improve the breed’s genetic trends. A. Rank in top 5% of breed for a selected trait. B. Show a minimum of 70% accuracy for a selected trait. C. Have produced a minimum of 10 registered progeny in the last three years. (After 2012 and before 2016)
