If you link the sire, we can have a look. But I would say that your stock may not be as good as you think they are. I would also say a test sample of 9 isn't really enough to come to any conclusions...l have hundreds of mares in pasture and evaluate them over many seasons to figure out who are my best Breeders.

And it's more that the pastures reduce a chance of a flop (or even mediocre) foal then that the foals are actually better. Although it's still not quarentees. And 9 isn't necessarily a large test base anyways. I would try more like 30+ foals over 2 seasons before being sure.

You could have been lucky with AI.

I just finished breeding my 2g pasture. 15 foals. 8 passed SBA. 2 A papered Colts and 2 Blue fillies. So even with strict culling guidelines you don't get a huge number of intact foals.

I would also say that 9 mares is a really small group. There is always the chance with a group that small that you just get unlucky even with the pasture bonus.

That being said, even though your stallion was superior to his sire, his sire is only a C paper. So it's possible your stallion is a low B papered boy. Which would make it harder for him to produce A and Blue babies. Not impossible I think, but less common. Have you comparison tested him to other B papered stallions in your barn? I rank my B studs as high, mid and low Bs by comparison testing them against each other.

It could be the same case with your mares, they could be low reds instead of high reds. Hard to tell without seeing how they produce over several seasons.

He is a medium B I have tested him to several studs he tested AGA a few B studs and another B stud he tested worse then so I'd say he is a medium B. But if he was a high B he wouldn't match with my other mares witch are also medium red mares. I have a B stud that is superior to Mystic Moonlight but he is only 2

Awe thanks Salvistar ill try, it seems like I have a bad season every year but ill keep trying. It's just really really hard to breed for color and quality because the pretty ones either don't make it or are poor quality it's such a bummer. I really struggle with that. Lol :)

You got 3 actually 4 but 1 sniped A/Blue out of 15 I got 0 A/ blue out of 9 I'd say you have me beat for sure lol

Oohh got cha lol and my mares have not been bred very much and some only once or not at all

Yea your right Ammit it's just hard to see such beauties being snipped lol ill figure this game out one day Lmao!:)
