Caspian Breeding
Hello all! So recently, I decided to restart my breeding project from scratch because I messed up a few things and decided that would be easier than reorganizing my pre-existing herd.
So far, things are... good enough. Nothing great, but I made a lot more progress than I assumed I would this quickly. The only problem is that for some reason every single filly that's been born has been well below average on their breeder reports. And it's only been fillies, I've managed to get quite a few well bred Caspian colts that either match are very slightly exceed expectations, only the fillies have had horrible reports.
This didn't happen last time, so does anyone have any tips before my stock of broodmares die of old age?

Re: Caspian Breeding
I am looking for Caspian colts. it would be nice if they have COI: 0% and 37K+ HGP.
I tried to find them with no s6.

Re: Caspian Breeding
The game is set up so that fillies are just a little less strong than colts, just like in real life. It very may well be the matches you're choosing. Instead of strengthening the weak areas of a particular pair (or making them a little less bad), you're actually highlighting those weak areas. There is also a little bit of luck in play and it could also be that the worst outcomes just happen to be on the fillies. However, just because a filly offers some really bad points on her report, doesn't mean she'll produce worse foals than herself. She still carries the genes of her parents and she may have some hidden gems within her code. Take a look at full siblings and try to find the similarities, either in the breeding report or in the conformation report. These similarities are your keys to what the parents have been passing on. The keys can tell you what the fillies of the full siblings may be hiding and if they have any worth for you at all.Geidim O'in wrote:Hello all!

Good Luck!
