BA I believe means the horse is either slightly worse, aga or slightly better than both parents. This foal is obviously better than his foundation mother, but may be slightly worse than his A parent, but close enough in quality to make it through.

SBA is like BA, but stricter xD I think it gets rid of the slightly worse, or something but it does raise the bar of quality that gets through.

Both horses must have thrown to the top end of their quality to produce such a foal, though. Or at least the foundation mare did.

Maybe that's evidence that my 2G "B" stud isn't very high quality (its his first foal crop and I'm trying it out) or luck of the draw? Although theres still the fact that the rest of the pasture is mostly being altered.

Did you send your A stallion's lower PT foals to the auction? If you did and they were deleted from the game, that would explain why his AFPT went up. As for an AFPT showing up on a mare whose foal wasn't tested, I have no idea.

You're statements about the rank of the herd helpers of some of your mares leads me to believe that you may be under a mistaken impression that higher rank HH produce horses that are better breeders. This is not the case, the only HHs which effect the breeding ability are Top Notch Producers, Perfect Foundations, Exceptional Producers (including the ones that also specify a color or pattern), Exceptionally Perfect, and all rank specials (which are either perfect foundations or exceptionals). All the other HHs produce horses with random breeding ability and you have as good a chance of a perfect foundation from a rank 1 as a rank 5. The higher rank color HHs just have the rarer colors and/or patterns.

So cool! If you still have your good quality uneven foals and they are intact but you were planning on selling or snipping them I will take them. I find uneven mares give the best of pasture foals.
