These are typical guidelines only. Other consideration should be given to genetics, EPD use, Systolic/Diastolic pressures, previous illness, and special consideration should be given to time the animal was housed or has been at elevation. The predictability of the PAP measurement improves over time at elevation (5,500 feet minimum). This chart is based on healthy animals greater than 10 months of age.
“ We have been using 7L Diamond Bulls for several years. They work well with our program and they have improved our genetics. The bulls work well in high elevation, and the calving ease is great. We are very pleased with them. - Bob and Jody Peterson La Jara, CO
