When you're passing by a farm and you see a dam and a foal roaming the lush pastures, you should understand that there's a lot of resources that have culminated in such a result. However, it is a feat that anyone can achieve if you have the right knowledge and skills. If you're planning on becoming house farmer, you should understand what it takes to have the best breeds. Below are some thoroughbred breeding tips that any farmer can use.

Get the opinion of a qualified veterinarian. This professional should help you determine whether you are mare is of good quality and should be bred. They will monitor the mare and decide when it is on heat and the best time to breed. This is normally during the hot months. However, nowadays artificial light can be used to induce ovulation.

Plan your budget. You will need to pay your vet for the examination process as well as various examination fees. However, there are additional fees that most farmers forget to include when preparing a budget. For example, you must prepare for feeding the animal during pregnancy which requires special feed.

Pick the right stallion for your mare. This means having a careful evaluation of the different animals and deciding what qualities one is lacking and the other has so that they can complement each other. This, however, requires you to understand your purpose for breeding. This way, you'll understand the desirable qualities you need to carry forward.

Pay careful attention to the qualities of the stallion. In most cases, you will find that the mare is owned by the farmer but the stallion is outsourced. Therefore, you should be really careful when choosing the stallion so that you get the best qualities possible. You should avoid animals that look physically unhealthy. It's advisable that you examine the animal for a period before making up your mind.

Research on the mare's dam line and genetic history. You are likely to get better results if you understand what has worked in the past for that particular horse. Look at how the breeding was done in the past and the resulting foal. Do this for the stallion as well to get the best results possible. This will help you know the genetic qualities that both breeds are likely to pass forward.

Understand what you need. Maybe you are just a farmer and what you are looking for is a horse that will produce the best results for your business. On the other hand, you could be a farmer but farming purposely for horse racing. Once you decide what you want to produce, you'll be able to choose the characters that you want to be displayed in the foal.

Talk to other breeders in the area so that you can get as much information as possible before you commence on your project. Information is everything. Therefore, know more about other farmer's experiences with the studying you want to use. It will also be better to find out if the offspring they got met their expectations.
