This is because females take longer to get to proper breeding age/size and because females are generally more expensive. I'm sure breeders can offer much more concrete advice on this, though.
    you are correct here: more females than males is the preferred ratio; powerhouse males and single-gene females is a strategy a lot of breeders use (and i have not LOL). but as long as you have a plan and stick with it, you should be alright.
