Of his 15 kids 8 are intact. IF they all went through BA that is a darned good ratio! That is over half of his foals passing!

I agree with best friend, put him to mares with a full pasture bonus.

Just as an example, my Hidden Gates stallion has 29 foals total (that are still alive....I don't know how many altered foals have been through the auction and were deleted, but there had to be a bunch because this is his second season, and I put him to my big pastures). Only 4 of them are intact, and of those 4 I got one Blue filly and one A colt.

He's probably only a low/mid B paper, so you won't get many A/Blues from him. Just keep using him, the ones that failed BA you didn't want anyway. As you get some blues you can slowly cull the red gen3's

To get intact horses it’s best to breed:

C- yellow
B-red
A- blue
Star- gold

That way the mare and stud are closer in quality and the foal doesn’t have to be that much better than the one just to be close enough to the other to pass intact.

If you’ve only gotten 1 A papered colt from that stud it will be reasonable to only get 1 blue papered mare from him.

It is also reasonable to have 2-3 generations of the same paper level in a row before moving up since you can have 2-3 superior to sire studs (direct descendents grandsire, sire, colt) with the same papers. Since he if from c- yellow foundations I would be happy with B- red from him and then the next Gen push for A- blue

Someone correct me if I’m wrong here, buuut I believe:

Perfect foundations are 100% breeding ability
ExPerfs are 105%

Adding a +1% boost to a PF will bump their papering up to a B/red
Adding a 5% (but not less) to an ExPerf will bump their papering up to an A/blue

This should mean that C/Yellow should be 90-something through 100%, and B/red should be 101-109%, leaving A/blue to be 110% up to some unspecified number: when I become a barn big enough to do so, I want to test more, of course, probably through liberal use of cloning, to find out where star/gold sits. If anyone has already done such testing or knows the number, let me know!

A couple horses from a breeding test thing Ammit did a while back (the numbers at the beginning of their names are their breeding %)

100 is a C perfect foundie, 105 is the ExPerf, 110 is A papered, as is 115.


100 Pasture Test Stud


105 Pasture Test Stud


110 Pasture Test Stud


115 Pasture Test Stud

The barn names show her intact rate to each one - with 30 days of pasture bonus and without.

In short: your ExPerfs are mid-range B/red. :P
