Link would be great :)

It's hard to tell what the cause might be without seeing the stallion and taking a look at the foals and their dams. The answer might be in his pedigree, but assuming automatically that he is a dud based solely on the number of neutered foals would be rash, I think.

The game is deliberately designed to produce a high number of neutered foals, especially if you are using Strict Breeding Advice. Ammit has commented more than once that you can get good results in advancing your lines using regular breeding advice.

Keep in mind that showing is the primary income source in this game, not breeding, so neutered show horses are a good thing, AND there is always next year to try for intact sons and daughters.

Another thing to check is how long the mares had been in pasture. Unless they were there more than 15 days, and the closer to 30 the better, they would not have the full benefit of the pasture bonus, and so more foals would be receiving input from the lower end of their breeding ability ranges.

I skipped BA and went straight to SBA. I also sold the stallion in a hissy fit. Kinda regretting it now. lol

I hit the sell button in a mood and he sold quicker than I expected him to. lol. I thought I'd ask so I could learn for the next time as I've got a few A boys.
