Since the 5% is cheaper unless you know you only want one or 2% you are probably better off with the 5.

I almost always use a 5% boost. However most of my boosting is for bootsrap horses. It's cheaper for me to GM a perfect colt into a mare, or GM a mare that missed a gene, than to boost.


The only exception to the 5% boost is with studs. Then I go one at a time, because in the past I have boosted a stallion way beyond his generations breeding abilities. It threw my generational lines out of balance, it was like breeding a 4g mare to a 5g stud. It was a mess, I finally ended up scrapping every generation higher than his so 5g +, then I got rid of him, and am currently working on breeding the perfect 4g stud to breed to my 4g mares. After that mess I’m a little shy of using boosts in my even lines. Mare’s aren’t as critical as a stud, because they can't have 50 foals every game year.
