Thank you @Cheers!

Being a newer playing comparison testing is expensive...

If you're a bit tight on money, you might use Cheers' guidelines but in a bit of a different order. Still first run them through Breeding Advice or Strict Breeding Advice first, but then maybe take a look at their color (and I'll usually look at height too) and decide if the colt is even something that you'd use in your program(s) anyway.

If you don't have a lot of GMTs or funds for GMTs to make foals consistent, you could also just go ahead and Performance Test first (only $500) and rule out any inconsistent colts before spending the $1000 to paper them and $4000 or $8000 to comparison test them.

Usually comparison testing is the very last thing I do to determine if I'm going to keep a colt intact for breeding. And if it's a colt that I'm unsure I want to spend the money on to comparison test, then I'm better off snipping him and waiting for something else to come along that actually "wows" me. :)

How do you get the pasture emails? I get the message in game but have yet to get an actual email. What email does it got from? Thanks!

What do u mean by pasture emails? Donthey tell you who your best colt or filly is?

I use a second breeding pasture to move mares from my big pasture to the little one so I can control which stallion gets which mare lol

Really?? Wow nice!

I didn't know this. I went and looked on my old email that I signed up with, and no notifications. :( I changed to my yahoo email, so hopefully that will work.

If you aren't getting emails, be sure to check you spam/junk folders. My first couple went to junk, then I set it to "not junk" and I get them every time I breed my pastures.
