• Registering MaineTainer Bulls
In order to register MaineTainer bulls out of a non Maine-Anjou sire, the sire must be a registered bull of another breed and on file with AMAA.

• Registering MaineTainer Steers
All steers must be sired by a registered Maine-Anjou bull.

• Registering MaineTainer Females
Female MaineTainer registration can come from either side of the pedigree. Different than a MaineTainer bull registration either the sire or dam can be a non-registered individual. If this is the case then the opposite side of the pedigree must at least be a registered ½ MaineTainer in order to meet the ¼ progeny requirement.
