I was just going through my 3rd gen stallions. I had a bunch of boys that were related to each other.

I'm trying to decide how best to cull half brothers that test AGA against each other.

I have two groups of two half brothers that tested AGA.

I have one group of three half brothers that tested AGA.

How would you people handle that situation?

Cull the older stallion and keep the younger stallion since the younger stallion would have a different bottom pedigree, if there is an older stallion that has stood stud for a while?

lol, I stop breeding before I get to that situation. :)

Once I have a good replacement colt for a stallion, I'm usually done with him unless he's got something extremely rare and special. And then I'd just set him aside for a few years and breed him much later to get a nice wide age gap between the colts.

I usually keep a roster of 9 stallions per generation. Sometimes I don't get a replacement for years, and those stallions see girls roughly every 3 "years".
It took me 10 years to finally get a 4th or 5th generation colt that tested superior to his sire, so sometimes I have to keep using the same stallion for that generation every season because he's all I've got.

Hmmm.... I think I'll take a closer look at the older boys.
