Hi all
I was very interested in your opinions on this as I am not right up on the ins n outs of breeding.
I can see merits in the pay on live foal incentives but jeezzz doesnt it leave the doors open for rorting the system..ie foals getting knocked on the head if they have any slight visual problem & foals being knocked on the head if they are not the desired sex..
to avoid payment of the service fee.
I guess there are many ways at looking at this - from a welfare point of view its terrible,from studs trying to make a living its not good either..on the flip side some may say it could improve quality in the breed in several aspects.
