    Breeding... How you do it.

    So I was thinking about this the other day and thought I would share my thoughts with everyone and also ask what y'all do as well.

    When it comes to breeding there are several different ways to go about it, with most ways ending with the same results (eggs and babies).

    For example:

    Person A Starts cooling in January and breeds till May.

    Person B Starts cooling in November and breeds till March.

    Neither person is wrong, just different ways to go about it. I'm sure both would result the same, eggs and babies in the long run.

    Now my question is. Who breeds year round? I've considered this myself only because I have a few females that usually don't ovulate until April-June time frame. Where some of my other females ovulate almost immediately after being paired. Almost like pairing them initiated the cycle (which I'm sure it probably did).

    So how many of you breed year round, just with different females at different times of the year?

    Please elaborate with a comment.

    Thanks!
