​A little about the Breed
​The Maine-Anjou breed was created in the nineteenth century by owners of large

estates in the traditional province of Maine, who cross-bred the local Mancelle

dairy cattle with British Durham cattle - the breed that would later become the

Shorthorn. The resulting dual-purpose breed was thus originally known as the

 Durham-Mancelle.  A herd-book was started in 1908, and the name of the breed

was changed to Maine-Anjou. It was changed again in 2004, to Rouge des Prés, but

outside France the older name continues to be used. From about 1970, breeding

favoured beef production over dairy use. Calm Cattle, easy calving, plenty of milk

​make's for excellent growth rate in calves.
