The low limit on weekly board has gone from $5 to $20
Is this automatically going to change, or do people have to go change this for their farms by hand? What will happen if they don't?

The board will automatically change. Everyone will get warnings tonight that it is happening. :-)

Quick question: I notice on the breeding barn page, some mares that I have BS checked don't have their comments show up on the breeding barn page (although it's still in their history). I assume this is because it wasn't done recently enough. If I want those comments to show up on the breeding barn page, will I need to rebuy them? I don't mind doing it if needed; my OCD just doesn't like that some show and some don't, lol.

Brilliant job from my initial glance. I'll have to see how the exchange works out in practice, so I'll reserve final judgment for a while, but so far it looks like a lot of great improvements have been made. Thanks so much to the team!
