Animal appeal medals
I am confused with the medal system where bronze or silver have a higher appeal number than some gold ones.
So, is gold still the best medal for the best animal (genetically)?

I'm just saying.. like.. there is a difference. It's a noticable difference at the start.. Mid/late. or really anytime after you set up 1 or 2 good pens, It doesnt' matter.

OP, yeah. you can ignore them for the most part. Early game investment is a thing though!

Yes/No.

Medals basically just compile an average of stats. Idk the average where they become gold/silver whatever.. but they're basically just higher accumilations of those 4 stats.

If you're looking to breed a higher stat animal, It's more likely if someonthing is already at a base high (You can downgrade though. it's purely RNG)

The higher your 'stats' are, the higher rating they will have.. that's a more accurate and easy-to-read measure if an animal will attract more visitors or not. (EXample. my grey wolves are both gold stars.. but one is 1605, and the other is 1583. There isn't much difference in them, but statistically, that 3% more in fertility gains them more rating.

Ignore medals, buy the animal you want based on genetics if its for breeding or age if its just for show.

"Medals' (or ratings) Draw in more customers and give more donations. It's worthwhile to invest in Gold animals when you can.

I know what they do and I'm saying ignore them. Like I said, if you are breeding buy for stats, if its for show buy something young and cheap too I guess. Also if you are after credits buy high fertility and release to wild. Sure if you have the choice between two animals of the same age and price then take the better stat one but I wouldn't stress about it. Money is a non-issue so there is no reason to stress about having decent quality animals.
