It might be because the parents and/or some prior gens weren’t BA tested. I’ve found that BA testing studs but not mares is what gets me better results while still retaining a decent amount of breeding stock. This breeding season, I bred a 13.3 PT 5% boosted stud to mares ranging in PTs from the low 12s to high 13s and ended up with foals ranging from a 12.6 to 13.8 PT. Full pasture bonuses also help. Personally, I feel like mare quality is generally more inconsequential to a herd since they can only breed once a year. I don’t bother to BA test mares if their PT is at least in the high 12s. However, for studs I always BA test, max out, and/or boost prior to breeding them.

I think your best bet would be BA testing studs and using full pasture bonuses if you’re not already. Other than that, PT is relatively hit or miss in general

If you are not testing your breeding stock this is the expected outcome.
