For the stallion, pulling straws does not affect pasture or hand live breeding at all (and vice versa).

For the mare, you can't pull eggs if she is in the pasture, and either breeding her or flushing eggs will mean you can't pull any more eggs. The way to get the most eggs possible is to pull a single egg every 5 days until the last time, then do an egg flush. (Pull 1 egg on July 1, 6, 11, 16, 21, and 26 then flush on the 31st. There is the same 5 day wait after pulling a single egg before you can do a flush, so if you are late pulling one or in shorter months, the egg flush is earlier that the last day of the month). If you decide to only pull single eggs you can do pasture or hand live cover breeding right after pulling your last egg, but you won't be able to get much pasture bonus.

You can't pull eggs or do a flush once breeding season is over, so don't wait until the 31st to flush. Do it before the 28th. I went through a calendar of July and planned out every day that I could pull eggs so as to maximize how many I get. I suggest you do the same!
