Please tell me I'm not the only one...

Who is already going through their mare herd and picking out possible stallion choices for them?  ::)

I can’t believe baby season is in 2 months!

I do that multiple times over the year.  :wink:

Ooo, that boy’s pretty!  This boy’s pretty!  So many pretty boys. Gotta keep some of the girls at home, though. 

I’ve got mine all picked except for a couple I’m not sure are coming off the track! That way as soon as Jan 1 hits I have my reservations in.

Me too, I have matched most of my broodmares and a lot of my racehorses that are going to be retired next year. But I’m also curious about new stallions that might become available :slight_smile:

Me too. I’ve made a provisional list of who I’d like to use but I try to keep an open mind for any new boys that might become available and also if stud fees go up a lot I might need a rethink.

I will say I haven’t matched any of my created mares yet they will either see a new boy or stay at home with my boys. But after they all foal , I’ll be selling a bunch of mares bred to my studs. Probably next July.

I’ve picked stallions for all 106 of my mares.

I typically choose 3-5 possibles (unless I have my own stud in mind) since a lot comes down to stud fees. Though I’m hoping selling a good handful of broodmares around March will increase my fee budget :smiley: And leasing out a few others.

I have a spreadsheet but I have a good number of mares retiring to the shed next year so I need to go over it again. I just know I need to get my Cigar mare to Nightfight at some point,  ;D
