| I have been trying to cull my SD mares off of W production, but should I be doing it a different way if Ws are so easy to get now? |

| All Breeds |
| With my SD I've started to only keep/test he colts out of LB pairings. Any W colts from my freshman get yeeted because I'd be drowning in freshman otherwise |
| Cappuccino |
| And I get it - with AD breeding being adjusted, SD would of course slide up too. But I lowkey would like SD in a bubble thats harder now LOL but I know it doesnt happen in a vaccum |
| Cappuccino |
| Thats what I use. If I have boys with 2+ up and no week 6 level, I no longer waste my time testing |
| The Old Gods |
| I tried tracking leveling a few years ago, but didn't see much of a correlation. |
| Cappuccino |
| I'd say my SD W production - freshie or not - has gone from say maybe 45-55% W to now 90% so thats not really the best indicator anymore either LOL |
| Cappuccino |
| What was his leveling like? That tends to be a better indicator to me. |
| The Old Gods |
| Like, this guy: -HEE Click- two up weeks 3/6/9. 9 out of 10 foals were W. Landed #54 |
| Kingsman |
| Yeah I’m always wary of good training >_> I’ve had so many solid training horses flop |
| deadwood dressage |
| If I had remained consistent throughout my years, perhaps I'd be doing better than I am |
| Cappuccino |
| And there are *so* many more SD breeders now that it has to play a role as well |
| The Old Gods |
| Kinda why I'm scratching my head on culling. I don't want to test everyone lol. Don't have the time for it...Or the sanity, but the current method ain't working |
| Cappuccino |
| Same with AD horses. My current freshie is up all week 11 and sitting mid-ish LB but AD has been "off" for a long time. So I think the SDs are catching up to the whole "training literally isnt everything" |
