How to generate a Crestimate

Generate a Crestimate from an animal's profile to get an estimated market value and range. You need access to its private valuation tools as part of the animal's team; following an animal or viewing its public profile is not enough.


Before you start


Check that the animal has these four details:


  1. Species
  2. Breed
  3. Sex
  4. Age or a date of birth


If one is missing, open More, select Unlock Crestimate, and use Complete profile or the linked missing detail. Save the profile changes, then return to the animal.

Generate the estimate


  1. Open the animal's profile, then More and Crestimate. If you previously hid its valuation tools, the menu may say Show Crestimate instead.


You may already see a Team-only valuation tools card with an auction-sales range. Its Generate full AI Crestimate button opens the same panel. That free range is market context, not a completed Crestimate.

  1. In the panel, select Generate Crestimate. If an estimate already exists, use Rerun AI Crestimate to request an updated one.


While it runs


The progress steps show Gathering market data, Consulting valuation models, and Finalizing estimate. Wait for the result rather than starting the same request again.


After requesting an estimate, you can leave the page. Creatures notifies you when it is ready or if the request fails. You can manage these notifications under Crestimate Updates in Settings.


If something looks wrong


  • A required detail is missing: use Complete profile before trying again.
  • The estimate has low confidence: check your location, pedigree, color, and profile description. Correct missing or outdated details before rerunning. Better information does not guarantee a higher value.
  • You have reached the request limit: try again later. New requests are limited to three per animal and ten per person per day. Reopening a request already in progress does not use another request.


The close button on the valuation card or panel hides it for you, not for everyone. Reopen it from More when needed. For a quick range without an animal profile, use the Livestock Value Calculator.
