White Factor Crossing
-
So I have a fuel to the fire mare (W2) in my pasture and I also have a white M stud in the pasture (as well as another) if they are the two to breed the risk factor is "moderate" according to the chart but what does that really mean? Would the foal have no chance of surviving or 1/2 or something like that?breeding Dark Drafts with lots of extras

You would want to look at the mares and studs individual white factor (WF), and check to see if the stallion has any splash or frame genes as well. With a lower WF I would think you should be fine, but if you have any splash or frame genes plus a high WF for either the mare or stud, I would probably pick a different stallion.

So one thing that I found good to look at and made me understand, in a way, was to look at the spreadsheet of the different values for the different WFs for each cross. Now the values mean nothing to me, but there are 6 of them, and 6 different WF. So if you start from the left, that value would be equivalent to WF: None. The next one would be equivalent to WF: Minimal, and so on and so forth.
So if a foal ends up with a WF in the red, then that foal won't live. It's safer to breed parents with WFs in the green to each other, but do be wary of Splash, frame, and W20, as these increase the amount of white on a horse and thus the WF as well. If inherited by the foal, it can increase their WF. (Note: appy does not affect WF).
I've got to run off to work, but when I get back I might be able to do a comparison between horses and that chart for you if you wantProducer of Volcanic Glass Drafts. Lapisobsidianus.

He has "extensive" WF and she has "light" with no splash or frame or anything. It is just him with kitM and her KitW2KitSb1

So first off your stud has half a chance of passing along his kitM, so roughly 50%. KitM and SB1 are a safe cross, so about 75% of the time this cross is going to be safe.
KitM and W2 however have a moderate lethality risk. Any foals with Large or Extensive WF will not make it. Since the sire has extensive WF, there is a high chance that his foal will get extensive as well. Even if the mother's WF only nudges it down a bit, that's still within the lethal zone for this cross.
If you're curious, find a stud that has a lot of babies. Note down his WF and then look at his progeny. I did this for one of my studs with a "Light" WF. For the high WF foals you'll note that it was because one parent had that high WF, or that they had inherited a WF increasing gene.Producer of Volcanic Glass Drafts. Lapisobsidianus.

Ok! Thank you! I think I am gunna risk it. I noticed one of his foal is the kitMkitW2 and it was pretty. Wish me luck when I bred that pasture!Thanked by 1ObsidianKitsune
