[QUOTE="Shadscale, post: 1129286, member: 21178"] I live at 7300ft and cattle go to 12000ft for 5 weeks in July. Try and buy those calves from higher elevations. I wouldn't bring those calves from lower elevations. You'll lose plenty. It won't mat ter if they are heavier or younger. If they are prone to brisket they'll be dead no matter the weight or age. Try and buy calves sired by pap tested bulls, bulls that are tested at altitude and by a vet that knows whats he's doing. That is very important. I've seen vets get pap scores that are laughable. They don't get into the chamber of the heart or don't get level with the heart in the chute. Good luck. Hope you don't see a wreck, it is nasty stuff if your not careful. [/QUOTE]
