Yes this! It frustrates me to no end, but I play solely on my phone and wasn’t sure if it’s easier on the computer. I have a 210 stall barn for my Gen 2 mares, so I have to open up a separate search to see which ones are unbred, then scroll down and click each one that I want to put in my 10 acre pasture with similar mares. If we could select from search view, then I could do so much more organised breeding! As it is, some of my mates get left in the pasture too long, so buy the end a lot of my Gen 2 and foundations are lucky to get one day bonus if that :/
As for the pastures, if you just dump a bunch of random mares in the primary pasture, sorting them out from there is just as slow going. Having to go into each individual profile to move her to the smaller pasture, without accidentally removing her from pasture altogether...
Check boxes please [-O<

All your mares in barns are in alphabetical order at the top of the list, then all your mares in pasture are in alphabetical order at the bottom of the list.

@Cheers thank you for your input. I may need to be more creative about naming them using abbreviations or special coding as a way of telling them apart. I have a basic labeling system already so I had to stop giving them actual names. Only my special studs have actual names.

Finding a naming system that works for you could solve lots of issues (it did for me lol) I used to have 3 lines and got so mixed up trying to keep them straight. Now I have 10(ish) between the 2 servers.

I use the same naming system on each.

A 3 letter prefix that tells me the gender and generation then a 2 letter indicator for which line they are from.

JS - stud
JL - mare

Starting at 2nd Gen I use the alphabet for each generation (a=2nd, b=3rd, c=4th)

Then I go to my pasture and run down the list and can pick up all of the Axiom (AX), Nexus (NX), Plaid(PL), KP, Ice(IC, IC8), satin(Sa) or filler horses of any one generation into the pasture along with a corresponding stud of the same line. Most of my horses have ID# names but ones I use often or had some extra time when browsing have names that indicate lines and I can usually figure out which stud they line back to. I don’t typically blend lines but I do put the KP and satin inductors after the name so they aren’t all a bramble of letters at the beginning if they do go into other lines.

I'm no pro, by far, but I've poked around in a few databases. I think it would likely be easier from a programming perspective to add a column in the barn view showing how many foals a horse has had that season, or even just to add some kind of indication in the pasture page menu if mares have been bred already. Adding checkboxes to the search page would be harder to do, at least from what I understand about that kind of database search page.

I play on a computer not a phone. I open 2 browsers, then go to the barn and open view in search, then in the other browser i put the same barn and click the organize by name. then as I see one on the search, i comeback to the list and tick/check her off. then once i have all the necessary mares I can click the other browser to the pasture. [ having a good naming system is very important]
