I have this guy out of a rank special who I compared and he tested about as good as his sire. Should I snip him? I like him but I do have a lot of 2g studs!

I find, when I am going through the babies, I keep asking myself "ok, I LIKE him, but do I NEED him?"

It's great with the bulk testing that you don't see who gets snipped. I try to keep my stally numbers down so I'd either get rid of him or another 2g that has similar quality

After I've done all my testing I also snip all the ones that are inconsistent, so yes, I would snip this one. :)

1GMT you could change him consistent and his PT would go up 5 points maybe you could do that

I am going to be the voice of opposition ans say keep him. He is as good as an exceptionally perfect, which makes him a pretty nice match to most 2g mares. As someone who is struggling with an entire mare herd that has lagged behind so badly that I don't really have any studs who pair with them I am rethinking the benefits of only keeping superior studs. Keeping a few "levels" of quality each generation may have it's benefits, especially as you get up there in generations.

I would snip without thinking about it. I never keep any boys that are not superior to their sire. But then again, I snip -alot- that are superior too, because I get way to many.
