[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1747650, member: 38220"] I like the Plus One cattle, but Plus One and his sire's PAP EPD is not acceptable here. We are at 4800 feet elevation with summer pastures at 6200', but many of my customers run at 6,000 to 8000 feet, so we want to avoid pulmonary problems. Big bodies and small lungs don't work here. Maybe with more PAP data his EPD will improve, but there are so many other choices that fit here I will pass for now. I do like the Resilient cattle, especially the heifers. I do hope they don't get too fat -- they are really easy fleshing. But my buyers looked right past the Resilient sons and bought the Ozzie sons. So we will make some more of those. We shoot for adjusted weaning weights on bulls at around 675-700 lbs. (no creep feed) and don't really want to be much over 750 lbs. because it takes too much cow to get there. [/QUOTE]
