I used to only breed B/Red foundations, so had pretty clear cull criteria.

Now I've added a herd of C/Yellow foundations, and I'm unclear how to compare their foals.

With my original herd of red foundations, I got a good mix of Blue and Red 2G's, so I kept herds of A/B stallions to breed them to.

Now with the yellow mares foals, I'm only keeping red 2G foals.

I had been breeding these red 2G mares (from Yellow foundations) to the B stallions (from red foundations), since they have much higher PT, but I'm wondering if I should be breeding these mares to B stallions out of yellow mares for the best chance of 3G foals passing SBA?

I may be overthinking things at this point?

Exceptionals count as about 1 generation better than non-exceptional horses. So just count them as one generation less when making comparisons.

So basically, the breeding ability of a Red 2G from exceptional parents will (generally) surpass the breeding ability of a Red 2G from non-exceptional parents?

So I *should* be saving some of those B stallions from non-exceptional parents in order to keep their breeding ability closer to the similar mares in order to be most likely to pass SBA?
