Should I save for a gender change?
  • So I was blessed to get a Meteor Milestone baby that was everything I wanted. Hom dp, S+, w3 and Sp3 and, most importantly, draft and red papered. However I was wondering if I should change her into a him. I only have a basic account and don't see that changing anytime soon, so I probably won't be able to pull any eggs, and that's the main reason why I've been thinking about it. But it would take me quite a while to save up the IVs for the GMT.

    Thoughts?

  • If she is everything you would like in a line, then yes, I would change her to a Stallion. Then you will get the most out of him. :)

  • Goobanni's advice is pretty sound, but keep in mind that this gender change must take place before the foal turns 5. That only gives you 4 real life months to save up for it.

    You may have already done the math, making the rest of this unnecessary, but in case you haven't yet had the opportunity, I will post it.

    A gender change costs 2 GMT's. That is 40 IV's or 500,000 hbs. That would mean purchasing 2 IV's every week (25,000 hbs), and perhaps occasionally 3.

    Before you definitely settle on this change, ask yourself, "Does my stable's showing bonus have the capability to give me that much extra income in the time available?" This community is one that gives a good chance of outside help for the project, though, so if you're coming up on the deadline and find you need more than you have been able to save, don't be afraid to ask for help.

  • If you need help I can pitch in!
  • Your other option would be to use real money to purchase the GMTs if you can't afford them using hbs but I'm not sure if that's something you'd want to do.
  • That is a very good point SandyCreek. My bonus is only about 2500k at the moment, so I should probably spend all of the money I was going to on those GMTs for barns to increase my show herd. Ah well, she's still very very pretty!

  • You also have until October 28 at 1159 pm eastern time to save hbs or buy a gmt to switch her!
