Not sure yet , but I locked in 10 units just in case he's the real deal.

 

[shufly]

I sure like the looks of him.  I am thinking of ordering some just in case too!

 

[Freerider]

I saw him at the Frozen Gold Sale, the best purebred maine I've ever seen.

I kinda really like him. Looks to have some angle from stifle to hock and a pretty good foot. You can even see some scrotal. Pedigree is a little different from the norm, too. He might need a little more hair... Just joking!  (thumbsup)

Wonder how he travels? Can't find pedigree at AMAA.

Is there going to be semen available in Canada?

For what its worth, his dam is BPF Miley, not BPCC Millie.

goet sure does know how to make them look good. he's pretty good with a set of clippers. not that i am saying he is all hair, it's just well done.

anybody got any calf pictures

Here is a bull calf that was born 2/25/12 sired by The Maine Man.  The dam is out of Special Delivery.

What was the bw on that calf? Would you say he could possibly be used on first calf heifers? Or wait until the 2nd go around?

 

[jbzdad]

he hasn't been considered a heifer bull... remember that special delivery (the dam"s sire) has been listed as lo BW

 

[SHAGGY]

Here is a mid February out of him. Weighed 85 to 90lbs i would say. Out of a 3/8 Habanero cow. He is probably the stoutest calf she has had and she is 11 years old. She has had some calves do well. kinda excited about this guy.  I have seen some really good I-80's too so i dont know what to do about breeding her back. I've never kept a heifer out of here and would like to get one before she gets much older. 

 

[hntwhitetail]

I'd breed her back to Maine Man

 

[SHAGGY]

Anyone had any heifers out of him? Curious how they will compare with the steers
