Suggestion: Breeding Summary

[RilkaGreen]

Something that might be really helpful to breeders is a breeding summary/list of pregnant mares. Sometimes I forget which mares I have bred because of the multiple pastures. Even with trying to keep all the mares in a single pasture, as the fillies grow up they will sometimes not get moved.

Ideally the summary would have Mare's Name, Breed, In Foal To, and Location on it. But really a simple list of mare's names that are pregnant would be nice.

I really wanted a designated breeding center a long while back so we could breed multiple horses at once (like a list of drop downs; select sires, select dams -> breed all). It would also be a good place to list straws/embryos if those are added at some point. And having an actual list of who is in foal to whom, and maybe even due dates, would just be perfect.

I would totally support either/both of these ideas! I am constantly forgetting which of my mares are in foal. But also it would be nice if it notified you when your mares/stallions came of breeding age.

Easiest solution is to include a notice on the pasture/barn view that indicates if a horse is pregnant or not.
Second possibility is adding some indicators on the farmview page to show how many stallions, mares, pregnant mares, fillies and colts are in each area. Shouldn't be too difficult to add. Would those work? Maybe a colour-coded pie chart like so http://i.stack.imgur.com/HtXoR.jpg ?

Will we also get those color code dots you mentioned a long while back? Prego mares could have pink dots instead of red ones. And a pregnant mare count on the farm homepage would be great.

I like Argent's idea and the prego mare count on the homepage would be nice too. I'm a little confused as to what the pie chart would be for ... but I guess like mares, prego mares, stallions, colts, fillies, to show the different demographics of your horses ... that would be really nice. ...

Larissa, that (the pie chart) would work as well. I really like the idea of a Breeding Center like Argent suggested, but the pie chart would be immensly helpful also.

Perhaps it would be good to add statistics on how many/which horses are for sale or up for stud as well if possible. If someone is visiting another player's farm you could see if that player has any stallions for stud and/or horses for sale.
