Does this mean there cannot be a stewardbred foal auction this year? If I understand the rules correctly, believe that the answer is Yes.
You are correct, but let's get real, I haven't been breeding enough foals for an auction for several years... I just breed them all during the break like a maniac. I sadly don't see that changing.... Ha!
Not looking to cause any drama here, just bumping this for clarification regarding the Steward Update regarding mares just posted. My understanding on that post is that there's going to be an auction for offspring of those mares later this year, but we've already hit the auction limit. Shouldn't that auction come in Y62 based on that? I know there's people who used their Steward-slots for this year already based on the info above. Thanks!

I actually thought about including a whole disclaimer (in the original thread posting in the Steward's Notices forum, not here) about "Yes, this would change the current auction limit for the year by one..." but left it out. Technically via the rules, I could auction them to Intermediate and lower but I'm guessing the rest of the SIM population wouldn't love that!

I am not at my steward bred limit this year so having another auction this year definitely benefits me. With that being said, I think it's fairer if these horses get held back until next year. Lots of players bought 2 already thinking it was their only shot (per the rules). I don't see any reason why these horses would need to be sold this year.

I'm sure you all now can peacefully and kindly discuss without any drama....

Just based on recent history, why don't we just let the Steward make this decision, and not discuss it. It doesn't really hurt anybody, so why continue something that will cause more headaches.

I don't mind holding them til next year (or having a few just for Int and lower this year as well).

But, LEASE auctions are not part of the 4-auction limit, and that is going ahead no matter what this year. I'm gonna need to move the younger lease babies to get some earnings this year.
