Straws are the same as 15 day pasture bonus. Im not sure if embryos have a bonus. To use all available slots a pasture has for breeding, you use your pasture at 13 days, and then breed it the second time on the 26/27th.

That would give even days to both groups. If you breed at 15 days then the next breeding would be 12 day bonus, if used twice a month. Or you can breed at a full 30 and take whatever time there is for group two.

On my one pasture account on forest I just rotate mares each month and only use it once. Or I'll use it for mares with 30 days and then rotate, use it and the following month repeat. So the first batch bred has 30+ pasture days, the second does not. That's also me just breeding a show herd.

Having a bigger account these days I usually breed straws and embryos. However I haven't been breeding much these last few months. There's been a lot going on to add that much breeding each month :)

I don't know if that helped or not. Good luck.

No. The only way to get the pasture bonus is with the pasture.

Anything using AI gets you something that is similar to the pasture bonus but isn't actually a pasture bonus. Straws count as AI so you get the AI bonus.

Yes. All artificial breeding does.

Thank you all! I think I’m going to keep my bootstrap/show baby mares in the pasture and get them a 30 day bonus and go from there! I’ll continue doing AI with my Van Gogh mares as there’s not nearly as many yet and go from there!
