5 $W Leaders = Ranch Profit $W is a good, all-purpose gauge to compare one animal to another for a variety of outputs minus inputs. This index includes calving ease, growth, the energy requirements of the cow, the milking ability of the cow, and frame size. It covers the entire range from the cost of the cow to produce a calf and carry it to weaning, plus accounts for adjusted market values. SITZ Bulls are bred for ranch profit.

9 Excel with SITZ Genetics at High Altitude Brisket Disease or High Mountain Disease is a relevant problem in many of the Western states. This disease is caused by pulmonary arterial hypertension, circulatory edema and congestive heart failure as a result of low-pressures associated with low-oxygen, high-altitude grazing above 5,000 feet. For over fifteen years, SITZ has sought after genetics that excel at altitude and has PAP tested their progeny. SITZ Elevation Z64 How to Read a PAP Score The pulmonary arterial pressure (PAP) test measures blood pressure in the pulmonary artery and estimates the force required to push blood into the lungs. The higher the altitude, the more accurate the test. PAP scores range from Excellent Acceptable Acceptable, if older animal that has lived at elevation 50+ High Risk Proven for the High Country SITZ High Country Co-owned with Accelerated Genetics 7 BW 1.9 WW 69 YW Milk Marb.56 REA.83 $W $B BW 1.5 WW 57 YW Milk Marb.21 REA.60 $W Co-owned with ABS $B Growth, DOB 8/23/12 AAA# Sire: Thomas Thunder 0582 MGS: SITZ Upward 307R»» Individual PAP score 39»» Double bred to Thunder with a shot of Foresight, Traveler 124, and 6807; he s a cowmaker»» Excellent fertility DOB 2/15/11 AAA# Sire: SITZ Game Point MGS: Connealy Thunder»» Individual PAP score 39 and progeny PAP tested at CSU where he has a PAP EPD of -0.9»» Balanced trait sire»» Progeny are moderate, dense, thick made cattle SITZ Investment 660Z SITZ Everest 728D Co-owned with Express Ranches, T K Angus, Lawson Farms, and partners 0 BW 1.1 WW 72 YW Milk Marb.30 REA.55 $W $B Co-owned with ABS Growth Calving Ease DOB 1/26/2012 AAA# Sire: Connealy Final Product MGS: Sitz Upward 307R»» 126 sons of Investment have been PAP tested at SITZ Angus Ranch with an avg score of 40, making him one of the most proven bulls to excell at high elevations that the breed has identified»» Daughters are beautifully uddered»» Explosive growth DOB 1/22/16 AAA# Sire: 3F Epic 4631 MGS: SITZ Thunder 4852»» Individual PAP score 37»» Tremendous birth to yearling spread that is hard to come by»» A crowd favorite of the 2017 SITZ Fall Sale 16 BW -2.4 WW 76 YW Milk Marb.22 REA.56 $W $B
