So now, they can collect and ship him as a 2yo, which many breeders do. I waited until my stallion was a 3yo before being collected, (recommended to me, although we could have at 2), and that's what I did. They're all different.
I wasn't trying to say they were wrong in collecting him, I was responding to WMerrickwannabe's post that stated that they "probably" collected him to check his semen and make sure he's not sterile. I was stating that a lot of young stallions have very low sperm counts due to their immaturity and it can change with age. Obviously they felt he was mature enough and did so.
