    Generally, as long as you give him time off and keep an eye on his condition and eating habits, it should be fine.

    It's hard to be 100% certain since it really depends on how you go about it and how well you monitor him. :)

    I did that last year and had no problem just be sure and give him breaks every now and then three days on three days off and then once you bred all the girls give him a week or so and start again. That's what I did and he is fine.

    Males in the wild will breed to many females in a season.

    As long as your male maintains a good weight and body condition, don't worry too much about it.

    You could breed him to a different female every week if you really wanted. You just have to keep in mind that the more females you breed him to the less locks each female will get. Stick with the three days in three days out rule of thumb.

    I call it the off shore rule. 3 on/3 off. That gives him a few days to lock then a few recovery days.

    As long as you do it properly it's fine. I know some breeders pair their males to as many as 8 females over a season. My limit is 4 - but that's just me.
