Stallions with one testicle

Postby Jean » Thu Dec 06, 2007 6:19 am

Do these horses have a history of low ferility? I know AP Indy only has one and are there management problems?

It really depends on who you talk to. Mare owners will say there mare didn't get in foal because of the stallion and stallion owners will say there is a problem with the mare.

I would really say it depends on the stallion. AP Indy hasn't had any problems; Roman Ruler hasn't either. I'm pretty sure that Carson City only had one and look what he produced.

Farms wouldn't advertise something like that, so I'm sure there are alot more stallions out there that only have one. In my opnion - it doesn't matter as long as there live, it only takes one!

Carson City was all there.Slew O Gold only had one...his fertility was fine until he got older,it was just finding a runner after his first crop that was the problem....

Just applying Okie logic I would say it reduces fertility by 50%. :wink:

In that case we just cover the mare twice.

Actually they told me that it is twice as healthy for you if you take the stairs rather than ride the elevator. I now ride the elevator twice and feel just as healthy.

I was in the shed with him for 10 years,and that never happened.You should be able to back something up,not just spout off about something you have no idea about.
