What's the cull percentages for your stallions this year? Let's say your stallion was bred all 50 times, but only has 20 live yearlings then his percentage would be 60% cull percentage.

Please also include the percentage of intact ones, and altered ones, over the live ones.

Please also include what may of messed the numbers up a bit. Like AI breeding. Or using the stallion to breed for auction fodder. etc.

I will post my examples in the comments.

Please note that this is a reject rate, not alteration rate. Certain PT for show horses, or paper level for intacts.

Thank you! Just super curious what everyone else was getting.

RS Stars and Stripes

1G RS American dreams

31 covered

2 alive (1 altered, 1 intact)

93% cull rating
of alive
50% alteration (keep more 3G as show horses)

Numbers may be messed up as he was up for public cover, and their cull procedures may be different then mine. Also, I used him to breed auction fodder.

50 pasture bred foals (note: not all mares had full pasture bonus)

11 intact (3 fillies, 8 colts)

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Jul 31, 2017 10:22 AM

Wow! thats a really good cull rate!

@JordanK still has the best with a 0% cull rate though.

Of 13 foals alive:
1 stallion
9 Mares, a lot of which are Blue, very few retained as too dark :(
1 gelding, consistent, PT of 10
2 spayed mares, consistent, 10+PT

Kolladee Stud · Jul 31, 2017 10:27 AM

yeah @jordanK that's impressive!

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Jul 31, 2017 10:33 AM

This thread is being as interesting as I hoped it would be! It's always interesting to hear people's cull procedures, and their cull rates over different stallion, and different generations. I hope I have time today to go through all of my stallions and write down their percentages. And for each gen. Like some 2G foals go straight to auction without even sorting. But I test all 3G foals for everything. 10.5 PT to stay as a show horse. I only had like 4 4G foals anyway.

Kolladee Stud · Jul 31, 2017 10:34 AM

2G TTT Bride Fruitcake

21 covered
2 alive
0 intact
90% cull rating

(think I put some foundation mares in there though)

One foal had 10.8 PT, the other 10.9

I wonder if the rates show strictness on quality by the player, or the quality of the stallion.

Also wonder if it would be good to have a mare equivalent of this thread. Seeing how many foals she has alive, but assuming she had a foal every season. Problem with that is my mares haven't had too many seasons yet.

JordanK · Jul 31, 2017 10:47 AM

Thanks guys!

@JordanK

You must be doing something right as he has a pretty good AFPT too!

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Jul 31, 2017 10:58 AM

Average cull rate for this thread so far is 66%

SeldomSeen · Jul 31, 2017 11:17 AM

Dry Bed

50 Pasture bred foals, full pasture bonus, I think.

18 Alive, auctioned all who did not pass SBA and then I further culled my colts down to 2. I may have culled some buckskin fillies. Did not keep statistics though I may have to start.

64% culled

1010625

I should probably name him, lol.

50 covered, no pasture

2 left alive. I use him for auction fodder but I got two fillies I liked

96% culled

You Knew Exactly When

49 covered, don't know how I missed that last one! No pasture bonus.

3 still alive 1 as a show pony and 2 heading to private auction next week.

This was more a practice year for him so everything went to auction.

94% culled

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Jul 31, 2017 11:22 AM

@SeldomSeen

Thanks for posting! Glad im not the only one that keeps some studs for auction fodder

Maybe you should name that one Auction Fodder. LOL.

SeldomSeen · Jul 31, 2017 11:27 AM

And now he is named, Auction Thrower. Next season I think I'll break out the spreadsheets and keep track of it all. This is actually pretty interesting.

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Jul 31, 2017 11:33 AM

I like those colts! See why you kept them. If the C papered one was B I'd grab him, perfect for my black appy rabicano line. If the other one was rabicano, or had parents with rabicano I'd offer to buy him. Maybe next season.

SeldomSeen · Jul 31, 2017 11:39 AM

I just papered them too. But I'm sure someone may be looking for that C. He's covering the same mares this coming season, all black so if any black appy rabis come up I'll let you know.

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Jul 31, 2017 11:41 AM

Awesome, thank you!

29 covered, ~20 days in pasture
24 culled, 83% cull rate
Of 5 remaining foals, all are intact (4 fillies and a colt I'm not sure what I'm going to do with)

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Jul 31, 2017 12:26 PM

2G AWS Drool Over You

8 covered
3 alive
All intact
1 A papered (from public service so no pasture bonus)

62.5% cull. Not horrible for his first 8 foals. Lol

Really warming up to this stud fast!

Dinascar · Jul 31, 2017 2:02 PM

I got 18 out of 50 intact from this fellow, not bad since most dams were yellows. Only 1 I gelded for inconsistency. Also had a couple of blues from him. 64% cull

2GRipplednighttime

Dinascar · Jul 31, 2017 2:09 PM

I also managed ok with this chap 7 out of 29 intact, not bad considering he didn't have any girls in pasture and they were all yellow HHs. So 67% cull

RS AllWashedUp

But then again this guy not so good. He had 5 foals from 50 matings and most were in pasture. But I did cull yellows/Cs. So 90% culled

4 intact
1 brindle
2 high PT's

PaintsStables · Jul 31, 2017 6:00 PM

I don't know if this will help with your test. I keep all my show horses. That is how my Stable is stands on its own. Then I can buy special genes, and pastures.

4 Gimme Gulastra

96% Altered
0% Culled

51 Covered
51 Alive
2 Intact- A *Star papered colt, and a Gold papered filly.

The rest were either altered by Strict Advice or myself, if they didn't meet what I was looking for from this stallion.

Cheers · Jul 31, 2017 6:21 PM

I only had one stallion I used for a real line this season. Here are his numbers.

Incandescent Light RS wpC

39 covered
22 Alive (43% cull rate)
6 intact, 1 colt and 5 fillies
Other 18 show ponies.

All horses went through SBA. Colts cut to 1 via Comparison test. Fillies cut for inconsistency. Show ponies with PT below 10.0 culled. Mares did not have full pasture bonus, so that would have affected my numbers.

Wildland Acres · Jul 31, 2017 6:43 PM

Ooo, this sounds fun. Now to start things, I keep show ponies based off a minimum pt score, so higher the quality the more likely all the foals will be kept, but not necessarily intact. ;P

I thought this sounded interesting to look at my top three 2g studs, since they are all different quality levels. Kinda show how that affects things. lol

Start off with high B boy.

Weekend Drums

17 foals
12 living (70%)
4 intact (23%)

Low A boy

Midnight Flame

22 foals
19 living (86%)
6 intact (27%. Some not fully tested for culling yet)

5% boosted from A

z2gSuperiorBlackMark

7 foals
5 living (71%)
1 intact (14%)

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Jul 31, 2017 7:10 PM

@WildlandAcres wow, it is very interesting how the stallion quality affected it! Were the mares more or less the same quality?

I can't wait to calculate the cull percentage at the end of today, thanks everyone!

Wildland Acres · Jul 31, 2017 8:55 PM

Mares should be about the same range of quality, I sorted them by wether or not they had dun mostly, and there were several groups of sisters split amongst the stallions. Also, the B boy was disadvantaged because at 3g I cull any foals that don't reach blue/ A, so I cull many of his foals after breeding advice, the second boy most of the foals that pass breeding advice pass my inspection and all the intact foals I have gotten out of the third stallion that passed breeding advice have passed paper tests with flying colors... all four of the foals that passed breeding advice. XD His first intact daughter comes of age next month though. So excited to see what she throws.

fj1482 · Aug 5, 2017 6:56 AM

This guy is at 50%. Half his foals were altered by SBA. All of his mares had full pasture bonus. This is one of my lines I'm trying to bring back from the brink of extinction so some of the horses are sub-par.

WO2 Bicarbonate HtGP

This guy is at 11% alter rate with only 1 out of 9 foals being altered by SBA. All his mares had full pasture bonus. @Goobanni this guy is awesome. You are doing a great job with your breeding program.

GB Tears of Snow G2

I will post more as I breed my pastures.

HunterUnderSaddleGirl · Aug 5, 2017 7:13 AM

50% is good - one of the best but 11% with SBA is amazing! Wow, good job! Says something about your mares too.

fj1482 · Aug 5, 2017 7:17 AM

Both of those lines are my lines im bringing back from extinction. I can't wait to see what my Prodigious line does. That's a bigger herd and are my other extinction line. Once I see all three that will give me a better idea of my mares.

DevilsParadise · Aug 5, 2017 8:23 AM

DP World So Cold V
He had 31 pasture babies this year. Of them, 22 stayed intact through SBA. Some I altered after because they didn't fit my lines. So he's at 70% intact for this year.

DP Knights Legend RS
He had 39 pasture babies this year. Of them, 28 stayed intact through SBA. I altered the ones that didn't fit my breeding program later. So he's at 72% intact this year.

They are both C papered, and the ice stud is a little uneven, so I'm happy that they are keeping so many intact right now. I'm sure if I was breeding higher papered animals my percentages would be lower.

DevilsParadise · Aug 5, 2017 8:31 AM

I should add that mine were all C papered mares and most had their 30 day bonus.

fj1482 · Aug 5, 2017 6:10 PM

Just bred my Prodigious boys.
All the mares had full pasture bonus.

This guy had 13 foals. 4 of them were altered by SBA. That leaves him with a 30% alter rate.

WO2 Going Prodigious Jr

This guy had 14 foals. 7 of them were altered by SBA. That leaves him with a 50% alter rate.

WO2 Going Prodigious Jr4

These two boys are brother and compare AGA each other so they are really close as far as breeding ability. It makes it very interesting for the research.
