Our programs bread and butter is our Cowherd. We believe that some of the Maine Anjou breed's best qualities is that of a momma cow. We have taken years of breeding maternal genetics thru old school Maine Genetics and have added some new age genetics from the Maine Breed as well as some top Angus and SimmXAng genetics in our Mainetainer program. At SW and WSF our goal is to have one of the stongest and most uniform set of Maine Anjou & Mainetainer cows in North America. Its taken our family almost 50 years and we believe that we are getting close to achieving our goal. Below is just a sample of the quality of the cows that walk the fields at our place.

SW Cattle & WSF cows being cows - we believe cows are meant to raise calves on their own - not with the help of creep feeders or silage wagons.
