The big question, look at your mares and see if you will end up with the numbers of mares you want after going such a cull.

I would base everything off of even foals. Uneven foals can cause a skew in your PT score.

Thanks Ammit.
I want to start playing better. Right now I feel like I am a liitle out of whack.

Are you looking at their PT of their FOALS PT. You need to look at foal PT.

You will have to breed them first. Those numbers are only good for foal PTs.

You can look at their dams though and see if their dams where good quality mares or not. You really can not cull based on the PT of a mare directly but if her dam was really bad you can bet the mare isn't great either.

I'd wait until they've had at least three foals and then average the foals PT scores if I were you. The dam's PT doesn't mean much in relation to what you're trying to figure out - a mare with a good breeding ability will produce foals with a relatively higher PT, so you can look at a mare and sort of assess the quality of her dam. If you're tying to cull 2g mares, you'll need to look at their foals (3rd gen) to assess the 2g mares' quality.

Also remember that pasture bonus affects foal quality quite a bit - if my mare hasn't been in a pasture prior to being bred, I won't expect the same proportion of high quality offspring that I would otherwise.

Aw ok. I misunderstood. Thanks Ammit for clearing that up.
