you can get a female and wait 2 years+ to breed it or get a male now and POSS breed him to a normal next season...either way you in good shape. you have a male and female pastel so either would work. how old is your female pastel and what is her weight... that should be a factor if shes older because you can make a pewter that much faster. now like albeys clutch he had a pewter male to a cinny female.
