Received Sek's sire update today. Chinook was one of many PB Maine bulls listed. Are the milk EPDs as good as they appear on some of these older Maine bulls? There was at least one bull that had a milk EPD of over +50.

Absolutely!  The Fullblood Maine-Anjou cows in France were (probably still are) a dual purpose breed.  Every other cow raised two calves, while the others were milked.

AAOK, so use them on ice pick influence cattle with low or negative milk epd?
