Stud/Brood Pricing Guide?

#155066 Posted on 2018-02-27 07:03:23

I feel like I've seen one floating around, or some general guideline to it, but I absolutely can't find it anywhere.

So: looking for tips! Putting some of my handsome boys up for stud for the first time, and I'm not exactly sure how to swing pricing. With selling foals, I've figured out 10k for 100k stats seems to be a good guideline for value and for actually moving horses, but is there a simple rule like that for stud/brood selling? Where does conformation fit in?

Am I just blind (answer: yes, actually, I am vision impaired but that's not the point right now) and there's been a guide I haven't found this whole time? :)

Thanks in advance y'all!

I don't think there is an official guide anywhere...

but many players do (100*stats + 5k per dilute gene + 5k per marking gene)/2 for studs/broods. (some also calculate in non-spec stats or conformation)

If you're talking about your Tekes, I do 30k-35k for broods and 20k-25k for studs (all of them have 900+ stats). That always seems to work out for me in the Teke community, any higher is risky, you may not get any takers.

I do 5k/100 stats (plus or minus a few k for good/bad genes and confo), since you are essentially getting half the horse you paid for :)

other variables that haven't been mentioned yet are the popularity of both the breed and the discipline, the length of the horse's pedigree, and how many times you want them breed.

breeds and disciplines with larger populations (ie racing thoroughbreds or western quarter horses) will generally have a more active market, and you can get more for studs than in a smaller population (like racing clydesdales). Horses with shorter pedigrees are generally considered valuable and you can price more for them. High value horses that you plan on only breeding less than 2 or 3 times often are priced higher than public studs with no foal limit.

right now i only stud out my mustangs and i use the formula:

100 EVD x stats
+ 10k for each desirable allele
