Ok, so I'm gonna highjack my own thread. Heres the problem. This male tends to go off feed during breeding, in fact he quit already. Since I started him early do you think this will be a problem for him since it is early in the season? I normally dont start till nov. Or will my females possibly ovulate sooner since I started sooner? He weighs a little over a 1,000 g and didnt lose much last year even though he was off feed. I know these situations are variable but what do you think? thanks
