[Another] Paper Query
  • I'm now really confused, I had been trying to strip my herd of Yellow-papered mares but I forgot to check if the Blackest Night RS was an ExPro (it isn't), and bred her as a test to my project stud.

    I know that a B/Red cross can make a Blue/A papered foal, but I did not know that this could also happen with one parent a paper-level below.

    Has anyone else had this happen?

  • Wow! You just got super lucky :) totally possible but rather uncommon!

  • Oh yeah, it totally happens! Especially in pasture

  • Yes, this is completely possible, although it's probably not very frequent. The sire is Exceptionally Perfect and the dam is a Perfect Foundation. Each parent makes a contribution to the foal's breeding and showing ability from a range of possiblities, not from a fixed number. I would say that the mare contributed from the top of her range for breeding ability and so did the sire, bringing the foal's breeding ability high enough to paper what is likely to be a low to medium Blue paper range.

    My favorite memory of something like this was a C papered stallion in a pasture with Yellow papered mares who had the full pasture bonus. In two successive seasons he gave me an A papered son. :)

  • @Taliesin, this one was a lab baby so has the 15-day pasture bonus. I'm looking forward to what my actual pasture mares produce if this isn't some totally one-off event! Also makes me feel less bad about fixing anything that gets marked AGA. :)

    @SandyCreekAcres Well I will keep an eye out for other people's pasture babies because I think it's awesome!
