Our Story 

We work to breed functional stud quality Maine-Anjou cattle that perform commercially to benefit the beef industry globally.

The Maine Park herd is located at Knowsley, Victoria in Australia, founded in 1989, Clint has been involved with Maine-Anjou cattle since 1981. Our stud has focused on improving from the old type of Maine-Anjou, many decades of breeding, our stud has evolved the Maine-Anjou to a modern moderate type with heavier weight for age to benefit your back pocket.

Our approach is simple, it’s from the ground up, we breed for functionality – sound structure, calving ease, fertility and weight for age - to make what we believe is the ideal beef producing animal. The industry has driven our breeding program to integrate pure bred black and also red Maine-Anjou into our herd and even more importantly pure bred polled genetics for easier farming.

Only pure bred Maine-Anjou bulls

We only breed pure bred Maine-Anjou cattle, we don’t need to register half-bred bulls, as our purebred bulls outperform any cross bred bull. Our bull buyers want purebred Maine-Anjou cattle and that’s what we produce to the highest standard. Our herd does not use double muscled genes as our smooth muscled cattle out perform these in every aspect. Not to mention the many well documented issues double muscled genes cause.

Our bulls are weighed every four weeks to check their weight for age and cull any bulls that are not making the grade.

Exporting Maine-Anjou genetics world-wide

After many years in the industry our cattle became recognised internationally and after much interest in Maine Park genetics we started exporting semen in 2019. International Maine-Anjou breeders now take advantage of our 30 plus years of breeding to improve their herds. The first bull we exported genetics from was Maine Park Black Moocha, with semen still available from this sire in Canada and Australia. We also have interest in embryos from Maine Park females with plans to export both embryos and semen to Europe in 2021.

Maine Park Maine-Anjou cattle sold across Australia

Maine Park cattle are bred for stud breeders looking to show stock and commercial beef farmers to improve herds. Unlike most beef cattle studs we offer a 3 year structural guarantee on all live cattle, what more could you ask for?

Our genetics can be seen across Australia with bulls covering commercial herds in the harsh heat of Queensland and cold climates such as King Island, just off Tasmania. The Maine Park bull is both an adaptable and reliable sire bringing calving ease, temperament and weight for age into your herd.

We’re proud to provide the industry with our Maine-Anjou cattle that speak for themselves in the benefits they bring to herds. To find out more about Maine Park please contact us for a chat or inspection of our stud on farm.
