[QUOTE="Aero, post: 268845, member: 2076"] i think it's Pulmonary Arterial Pressure. it is a messure of blood pressure at the heart, which is pretty much a measure of stress or a measure of the animals ability to handle low oxygen environments. Around 30 is the best I have seen. When I talked to Dr Tim Holt (the guy who invented the test), i found out that a calf's health early in life has a great impact on this score. if they were sick as calves, they will almost always have an elevated PAP. There is a strong genetic correlation too. if the calf is from a line of cattle that have good PAP scores, the calf is likely to have a good score. [/QUOTE]
