You should get a goodt amount of superior blue mares, I get a lot from just crossing A papered straws to Red eggs in the AI lab. Pasture boost will increase those odds a little.

So far i found a good amount of the colts were gelded just by testing them. Some came out same as sire and 1 or 2 were supirior but like silvercreekfarm said they end up heterozyogous for the genes wanted. Im slowly working on improving my mares genetically so more foals come out with some homozygous traits im looking for.

Silvercreekfarm if you could i would appreciate it.

My goal is to keep the colors i want yet improve paper and pt scores . I know alot of people focus on stallions but i feel having supirior mares are so important in better pt and papered intact foals.

If the foals from an A stallion with Red papered mares pass SBA, then they mostly have to be superior to dam to pass. The ones that pass should all be blue papered too, although you'll probably get the odd red one seeing he's only just an A

Last season for one of my boosted foundation boys:

out of 50 pasture foals, had 17 fillies, of which 4 of them were Blue 2gs.
Going off which images were generated on the colts, there was about 13 colts that passed SBA, but I gelded all but one of them. There would have been a mix of AGA and Sup colts out of those that passed SBA.

Out of 30 pasture foals, 14 fillies in total and 7 Blue 2g intacts after testing.
16 colts, 6 passed SBA but were gelded due to being het for the genes i want.

Same stud, 2 yr olds. ignoring the first 6 foals on the list (embryos) out of 50 pasture foals, there were 21 fillies. 6 of them passed testing ect and were blue papered 2g mares.

same stud, 3 yr olds. Had to manually count these babies because i did a huge number of embryos and without tatooing them idk how to sort those ones out from the pasture ones. Out of 50 pasture foals, 24 fillies, 16 intact blue 2gs

A few seasons ago I was auctioning a bunch of my spelds if they were under 10pt and over 11.1pt so I can't really get other accurate data from my older stallions unfortunately. but just even for myself, it is super interesting to see what a difference there is between my own stallions, even though technically they are all the same breeding level. Some are obviously better filly producers than others? But either way you still get a lot of spelds, but the 5-10 Blue mares each season is more than worth it for me. I think i only have one or two red 2g mares that I kept because they passes SBA and were chimeras.

Marry go round
