I have an ExPerf herd and only keep A/blue papered 2g, regardless of PT or consistency, so long as they pass SBA. For the stallions, I run comparisons to one another and keep the top 3.

I think it’s very realistic to start seeing gold* fillies at 5g. My first round of breedable 2g mares and stallions with full pasture bonus just came about this season. Of five blue mares with a full pasture bonus, I got three intact 3g fillies, which was surprisingly high to me. But all three fillies are blue papered with higher PT scores than their parents (11+ vs 10-10.4). I expect it will likely take me another two to three seasons to gather enough intact foals to create a 3g setup, considering, but for now, I’m keeping all 3g foals that pass SBA. I am hoping for more gold*/star* next go round, but we’ll see. 4g I won’t be keeping anything BUT gold* fillies and star* colts. It’s possible if I get enough 3g gold* to warrant it, I may also use that as my 3g “bar of excellence.”

My herd starts with exceptional. I will only keep blue/A at gen 2 and Blue/A at Gen 3 (though I have got 1Gold and 1 Star at Gen 3 with no boosts starting with exceptionals). By Gen 4 it is all stars and golds. I only get a few each season, but I cull anything that is not Star or Gold. I should mention it took me around 2 years to get there. Up until then, most of my Gen 4s were Blue and A.
