Conception & Foal Records

Per AQHA records (as of 01-22-08) Casey has sired more Palominos and Buckskins than any other color foal.  55% of his foals are either Buckskin, Palomino, and 1 Cremello.  The remaining foals are either Black, Grullo (from the mare), Bay/Brown, Chestnut/Sorrel, or Gray.

Fillies 53%   -   Colts 47%

We realize that deciding to breed your mare is a big undertaking.  For that reason we would like to welcome you to view our breeding records for Cals Special Edition.   Breeding your mare to a proven stallion takes the guess work out of your breeding decision.  When you breed to Cals Special Edition you can feel confident you are dealing with professionals that have your and your mare's best interest in mind.  The conception records below are through the 2003 breeding season.  There are 6 years of breeding records below and many mares.  They aren't just based off a handful of mares and "luck".    Casey has continued to ship the same quality semen all over the USA in the years since I consolidated these records.

Total Mares Bred:      As of 2003 96
Total Conception Rate:  96%
     
Onsite Conception Rate  97%
     
Shipped Semen Conception Rate (6 years): 95%
    of SS pregnancies what % with 1st shipment: 81%

Since we began standing Cals Special Edition in the 90's a lot has changed about color genetics.  I am going to be adding a lot of information to this site about color genetics in the next few months, but for now I want to list what Cals Special Edition's color genetics are so you can try and determine what color foals you may get.

Red Factor - Ee

This was easy to determine as he has at least one big "E" since he has black points (mane and tail).  The fact that he has sired Palominos and Chestnut/Sorrels shows that he also has a "e".  If he was "EE" he would be homozygous for black (he could still be a buckskin and be "EE", also he could be a bay or a black).  If he was "ee" he could not be a buckskin, bay, or black.  He would have to be a red based color like a Palomino or a Chestnut/Sorrel.

Agouti - Aa

This was also determined by what he looks like and the foals he has sired.  The Agouti is what distributes the black pigments to the points (bays and buckskin) or in the absence of the Agouti then the horse is black or Smokey Black (if it possesses the creme gene).  Since Casey is a Buckskin it's a given he has at least one "A".  But since he has sired Black foals than he is not "AA" but rather "Aa".  He is heterozygous for Agouti not Homozygous.  An "AA" horse would always throw a Bay or Buckskin (if the base coat was black not red, Agouti does not effect Red horses) not Black.  So if you have a red (Palomino or Chestnut/Sorrel) mare you won't know what she has unless you have had her tested or she has had a lot of foals. 

Creme - nCr

Casey possess a single dilute gene.  If he was a double dilute he would be a Perlino.

If you are unsure of what combination of genes your mare may have, feel free to call me and maybe we can determine it from her pedigree and any foals she may have already had.
