Using the full pasture bonus gives the best chance of getting intact foals, but some will still be neutered, of course.

The main difference is the cost. Breeding your own mares to your own stallions by hand costs the 1000 hb. vet fee, and you have to have enough to cover whatever stud fee you set for the stallion, although that money never leaves your own account.

No, if you just put them in the pasture and breed without the full 30 days. The only statistical difference occurs when you wait the 30 days.

I think breeding your own mares with your own stallions is cheaper than using straws. You not only have to pull the straw (500$) then you have to implant it and that means "There is a 3000 dollar vet bill involved in producing an AI created foal."

I think just breeding to your own stallions is much cheaper than using a straw.

Now, breeding to OTHERS stallions can involve a Breeding Fee.
