Higher generations?
-
To my veteran players: when do even generations in a pedigree stop mattering? As in, when do you pull an Elsa from Frozen and just let it go? I know keeping generations even helps with quality with lower generations, but at what point does it stop mattering as much? Because it seems like it would be a pain in the neck to double check that you're breeding 12G to 12G...but how do you know at which generation to draw the line? Thanks in advance!

For me, my goal is when they hit 13 pt.
My lines keep getting better from 2nd gen up, so my older bloodlines keep getting phased out anyways. I've only had a small handful make it up to 8th generation lol, and they're mostly older bloodlines from before I've tightened up my culling specs.Bluegrass #143376 * Specializing in Iced Axiom (ExPro Cobs) and Iced Phantoms (PF Riding Ponies)

I keep track forever. But it's easy to do if you use tattoos for each generation. I don't have to keep counting - if I breed two horses that are 2nd gen, I put a third gen tattoo on the baby. Then when I breed two 3rd gens, I put a fourth gen tattoo on the baby..ect.
Then I can just search horse by tattoos to find a horse of the right generation to breed to, and I know what the baby is just from the parent's tats.
You don't actually have to draw up a tattoo for each generation if you don't want to, I just use blank ones. I don't need anything to show on the image, it's about the ability to search and the fact it records the generation in the tattoo name that is on the horse's page.

I put a 1 or 3 letter prefix before the name on all my horses that way at a glance I can tell if they are mare, stallion, show horse or retired breeder and what generation the breeders are. That way all the horses of the same generation are grouped together in the various lists on the site.Breeding even generation Grullos with KP, Axiom RBG & Wrong Warp, Chinnchilla, Onyx, Phantom Autumn, Bats, Ghosts, Pumpkins, Skulls & Spiders, Plaid, Watercolour genes

It never really maters in the first place. It's really only breeding multi gen horses to foundations that looks really newbiesh and like you don't know what you are doing. Though I do it a ton on my personal play account for show horses.Post edited by Ammit at 2016-10-20 05:08:24Need to contact me? Read this first.
