Gelding everything who does it?
  • I am thinking of gelding everything except for my SplM boy and my Ice 9 boy. I have a to of horses and no way to breed everything. I feel bad lol? Does anyone else feel bad snipping their horses?
  • I have no remorse. I imagine myself skipping down the aisles singing.

    In September I culled most of my studs then organized my pastures (or lists of who goes together on this server as I don’t have enough pastures for everyone) and then I went through them again and snipped all the boys that I didn’t pick to go with a group of mares
  • I only have 2 pastures. So trying to decide on how to do this.
  • Yeah. On this server I only have 1 pasture and rotate the horses in and out if it every couple of days if I remember.

    HJ1 most of my mares now live in the pastures
  • That is hilarious confluence

    Anyway, if you have the strength to! Go for it! Get those extra points from gelding. I only wish I had the strength. Even requiring 2G As and superior to 2G A at 3G, and almost star at 4G I still find a way to only have a one stallion to 5 mares ratio. But it’s so confusing and time consuming.

  • 3/4 of my colts don’t make it out of pasture intact *shrugs*. Then only maybe 1 makes it after that, sometimes two. I am very hard on my boys since I keep a boy a season and compare them to each other each season to see who I sent better. I’m a big fan of Confluences’ little saying!
  • I'm the worst at keeping more studs than I will ever use. Lol I go through my 120 stall stud barn all the time, picking who to snip to make room for colts I want to add. I snip anything that doesn't pass SBA to start with unless it's a gene or gene combination I particularly love, and then anything that comp tests worse than sire. I also snip most who are AGA, but I'm running out of those now, too. Last time through I snipped half a dozen perfectly good AGA and STS studs because I didn't want to lose their points by selling then. Next round, I'm snipping studs without special genes that I don't use, but first I need yet another show barn to toss them in cause there's no room there either. :3

    Of course, those rules all go by the wayside for my bootstrap boys. I still haven't gotten any STS out of them from Rogue Night or from Bird Star, and only one or two AGA, but I go through them often as I get more colts with the right genes, running BA on lower PT boys and tossing snips in a show barn. The intact boot colts only get a small barn, so I snip most of them. If I had a big barn I'd have far too many.... Kind of like my boot mares! Lol

  • I did that with all of my foundations and started 3 new GMT stallions. I say do it.
  • I have way too many studs - but having said that they are really just intact showers. I can't take the plunge but I really should because I keep reaching for a stud and then he has w20 or S so I don't use him, but he is so cute....
    I am hopeless case and I admire you - be strong :)
    I have 250 intact stallions and 2k of mares (I haven't gone through foals yet) - that is way too many of both really. And I have 3k of speyed/gelded horses.
    No wonder it takes me so long to breed...
