I have this stud and after breeding him for the first time, I got a horribly low number of intact foals. I know at least one of the mares is 100% breeding quality yellow papered and another is the same but papered red. Should I cut my losses now and geld him now or should I give him another shot next season?

From what I can see, he only has 9 foals total which is a really low number to tell anything from. He needs to have a lot more than 9 to be able to tell his breeding ability. Breed him again next season to mares with full pasture bonus. You may have just had rotten luck this season.

You have learned nothing about his quality from the number of intact foals. His paper score and AFPT will tell you FAR more.

Thank you! I wasn't sure if that was already telling or if I should wait. I'll try him again next month.

My Plaid guy didn't have a high intact rate but is equivalent to a perfect Foundation (comp test)
Some months horses have a good season sometimes they have a bad season.
Even with an even breeding quality pair you aren't guaranteed an intact foal :D

Hopefully he brings you more intact Foals :)
