Say I have a stallion who has a PT of 9.9 and is consistent. (Not perfect foundation HH).

Now say I breed him 10 times and wind up with 8 altered foals--all of which were snipped on regular breeding advice.
Of those 10, only 3 are consistent, and all 10 have PTs lower than his.

Say the mares are of sound quality (not PF, but not horrible either).

Would it be a safe assumption that he would not be a good producer? In that situation, would how much of a breeding boost would you apply, if any?

Just a hypothetical situation--trying to make sure I know how to determine good breeding stock in the future. :)

My bone Fire stud done this to me! 6/6 altered.
Tried with normal yellow mares and 2 red RS mares :/

Something similar happened to me a couple seasons ago with an RS too, but I don't quite understand because the stud was equivalent to a PF.

Am much confused. Unless I've overestimated my mares. :-? Oops. :))

Remember how big the available random number selections are, though. You're talking about a range from @ 8.9 to 10.4 (depending) each, for the mare and the sire! I'm not going to do calculations because math, but check out this thread again, especially the chart towards the bottom: http://hj2.huntandjump.com/forum/discussion/10182/general-information-showing-vs-breeding#Item_3

(This is all assuming that the breeding scores are anything like the performance scores)

Glad I'm not the only one haha!

Thanks confluence farms :D

Thank Confluence! I'll definitely take that into consideration. :)

@BlueValley, if the stallion you're talking about is a regular foundation stallion, I'd put him through SBA if you have a premium upgrade. I think SBA has a pretty high quality requirement for foundations so if he passes you know he's at least decent. Or you can do a comparison between him and a perfect foundation/PF equivalent RS stallion. If he comp tests as good as a PF stallion, you know he's either PF quality or pretty close to PF quality.

To give him a breeding boost, he would have to be no older than 4, and I'm sure you would have to sell all his offspring back to the game.

@Windward Nearly all my stock's put through SBA. :) That's a really great point about the comparison test! I didn't even think of that. :\">

@Sandy I kinda figured, like a GMT! :D

Good. I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the limitations.
