[QUOTE="GoWyo, post: 1847335, member: 38220"] I think so. I took 6 Right Time sons to Laramie October 31. They were PAP screened on December 15. I RT bull was 67 so I brought him home at that time. He is still at home and am planning to use him as just cleanup for now. February 15 they ran the final PAP test with Dr. Holt. A RT son posted 86 or 87 and I will have to cull him. The other 4 went through the sale. 3 of the 4 PAP'd in the low 40s. My experience with PAP testing at high elevation (7200') is that 50% or more of cattle will be over 50 mean arterial pressure. Dr. Holt thinks around 6400' is where we really find out what cattle can PAP well and there are too few cattle that get tested at that elevation just because there are limited places to develop bulls at that altitude. Factoring in the cow from my cows side as well (some are not good at altitude, but will take several years to find them), I do think Right Time will improve the PAP issue in cattle. I don't think he is as reliable as Sitz Resilient on PAP, but there aren't enough PAP scores on Right Time yet to really tell for sure. I plan to keep on using him. [/QUOTE]
