Hmm. Sounds like my goals should probably be rewritten to match yours. I have the same ‘gee, I need a new barn’ thing every month. I’m planning to get the first generation on my cherry drop appy project, which will eventually be crossed into my snowflake line, while breeding into some amusing new genes to fancy up my Era 8 liver herd.

My goals are easy this month, cuz I just changed directions. Looking for large-spotted, small pony gray appies. In a few seasons, hopefully I'll start seeing some snowflake babies, but that's a third-gen goal, and I'm barely started getting second-gen! :-)
(ETA: probably will cull on height & consistency for fillies, with stricter size, paper, consistency, and genetic requirements for colts - if I don't have a single colt that matches what I want this season, well, that's fine because the fillies won't be breedable until a month after the colts anyway, so I've got time!)

@Brandybrookes if I can make a suggestion, consider snipping your culls and sticking them in the auction instead of selling them back to the game. Unless they have a fantasy buy-back option you'll make 1500 more that way, and most of them will get bought by the H&J auction bidder anyway.

As for me, my February goals are culling related! I'm gonna be doing a bunch of snipping and auctioning myself, and selling lots of foundation mares and lined horses that are good enough quality to sell. I need to get down to that point where my daily covers what I want to do! The other side of that is upping my show barns and growing my daily, so that's a goal too!

My goals have shifted several times over the past RL years lol I have narrowed my focus down to two very specific lines: Mushroom and Chinchilla.

I am focusing on breeding strict, top quality horses. Here are the guidelines i am planning on following:
1. All foundations in these two lines must be Exceptional
2. All foals must be run through SBA, including lab babies
3. Foals must paper 2G-3G A/Blue and 4G+ Star/Gold
4. All colts must paper superior to sire and fillies superior to dam (Can use boost tokens)
5. 3G+ MUST be homozygous for the main gene of the line (so must be either hom mushroom or hom chinchilla) to remain intact. 2G is the only exception for Het.
6. Must be consistent. (Can GMT consistency)
7. Mares must follow this AFPT score:

Ammit December 2016
69.69.172.135
9.9
2G 10.3
3G 10.7
4G 11.1
5G 11.6
6G and up 12 or higher

.4 gain per generation is a strict but very obtainable goal.

I am striving for top quality horses in these lines. The main genes i am focusing on are Mushroom and Chinchilla but each line has other goodies mixed in. These are my founders of each line:

Chinchilla Stallions:

Matrix is also going to be used as a side project as well as a main one. I will use all his 3G+ foals that don't qualify color wise for the chinchilla line, as part of a satin/plaid/pearl side line.

HS 1G Matrix Dodge CQPl

HS 1G Platinum Record Co

HS 1G Pierrot CDZNo

Chinchilla Mares (including ones that are still in progress):
These girls are helping me slowly introduce Chocolate into my chinchilla line

1G Risk of Rain Co3Y

These two are WIPs

GMT Evergreen Boughs

GMT Pretzel 9833361

Mushroom Stallions:

HS 1G Troubadour UDZNo

HS 1G Faded Gold

This guy just needs one more copy of mushroom, just waiting on someone to take up my offer! I am hoping i can squeeze a copy of S+ on him as well before the 5th!

GMT Bronze Age Mushroom

Mushroom Mares:

1G Pretzel Baronness

1G El Dorado UPDoh

This gal just needs 2 copies of mushroom which i can hopefully save up hbs enough to ask for this rotation! I also want to try for that second DP at least too :)

I am just now getting to point where I'm sorting out actual breeding goals. Since I started playing in November I have just been breeding and buying whatever I think looks pretty. Now I have too many horses without a purpose and quite a bit of uneven bred stuff. My goals are to force myself to cull instead of keeping everything, stop buying and start building my own lines, stop crossing pairs just because I can and mainly with a focus on hom Chocolate and DP Silver Bay, and trying to improve the quality.

I think I have bought some of your discarded foals lol

I want to utilize comparison testing for the first time. The price has scared me away from it. But I need to cull my numbers so now is a good time! Going through all of my stallions age 3 and under today!
