    Few things

    • Females sometime take a break if she has bred several years in a row she may or may not go this season
    • It is still VERY early in the season
    • Because you do not see a lock does not mean it does not happen
    • Pay attention to the weather when pairing
    • If you have other BP use them, use sheds and sperm plugs

    Pop his penes after you pair them.

    If he locked one pene will be larger than the other and more red colored. The pene he did not use will likely still have a sperm plug.

    I don't recommend it 2 females and 1 male yes but male fight can actually make it worse, the defeated male could end up not breeding at all for you.

    Use the sperm plug from another male and smear it on the female's back, you can also use the shed.
