I absolutely love your spreadsheet work! In answer to your question, I do not have a formula yet. Im interested in what others do too but that spreadsheet is perfection!

@OrionsStables thank you, a lot of time went into it :D I really enjoy making spreadsheets for just about everything in life :)) Plus being able to quickly visualize genes I'm interested in and lines helps me plan crosses.

@HayesStable aw thank you :x for me it's something I tend to just do a little bit here and there when I feel like it because it's fun for me lol, but I can totally understand where you're coming from! That definitely makes sense for a bigger barn such as yours, when you have thousands of horses that's simply too much info to keep track of individually. May I ask why you don't tend to lab breed in later gens?

That is a really nice spreadsheet!

I separate my horses by barns and put some sort of identifier in their names to keep things straight and decide who to breed together. I don't normally plan specific pairings, just groups of horses that will breed within their group. I keep a simple text file outlining the plan for each barn/group. It includes notes like how many stallions are needed to cover all the mares, rules for which foals to keep, and criteria for culling older horses. Most of my breeding right now is based on grouping by paper level. I also have one project barn which is for breeding Era 13 horses to see how fast I can get them to gold/star. I don't currently have any breeding projects based on specific colors/markings/etc., but some of my breeding groups have rules like "stallions cannot have gray."

Awesome! Thank you! I'm going to check it out asap.
