peer agreement (net): +1covering list Explanation: There is already the reference to "cover numbers" for Bedeckungszahlen so in that regard there is some degree of consistency. I must say that I'm not all that confident though. One of my sources is a UK-based society, the other is a German one translated into English. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 28 mins (2009-02-15 20:08:18 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I mean "a full covering list" for the German "volle Deckliste" - apologies for any misunderstanding.

peer agreement (net): +1a full book of mares Explanation: I do not know why this sounds strange to your ears, but this term is commenly used in the English-speaking world. Guidelines for stallion breeding soundness have been established by the Society for Theriogenology. A stallion that passes the breeding soundness examination is expected to successfully breed 75% of **a full book of mares**. A full book is considered 40 mares by live cover or 120 mares by artificial insemination. Evaluation of the stallion involves the following: http://maine.edu/~rcausey/stud.HTM "We expect him to breed **a full book of mares** in 2002" at Ashford, Fitzgibbon said as he watched Hennessy pose for visitors on January 8. Since Coolmore pioneered the theory that stallion books should be stretched as far as they can go in the hopes of generating the key colt or filly that could make a horse's career, a full book for such an ascending sire could mean 150 or more mares. http://www.thoroughbredtimes.com/weekly-feature-articles/200... The stallions placed in Virginia during this period has averaged about thirty. The care and handling of stallions by horsemen in Virginia is an old story and little difficulty has been experienced in placing stallions in the hands of competent agents where they would get **a full book of mares**. http://qmfound.com/front_royal.htm and many more :)) |
