[QUOTE="CravinGrazin, post: 1129076, member: 21915"] Looking for some feedback.... We're looking at buying a place as a stocker outfit. Seen plenty of possibilities and found a couple that are right at 6,000 feet. We were hoping to bring lighter calves from CA but are concerned about the change in elevation. From what I've read it sounds like brisket disease hits older, heavier (as in closer to finish) cattle, but the elevation still worries me. Anybody got any experience with that height on stockers, especially coming from quite a bit lower elevations? We're primarily going to be a custom outfit so we could make sure the cattle come from higher elevation areas if needed. Also going to be checking with some neighbors and local vets but would appreciate any ideas. [/QUOTE]
