Just to add a little more to the last two posts. Take whatever money you planned on spending on a male and buy another female. It will take your females 2-3 years to up to breeding size. In that time your females only increase in value. Over the same 2-3 years your male will probably lose half of his value if not more. Even if you don't care about the money this allows to to not lose any money, if over the next three years, you see something new and decide to change direction in your breeding plans. If this happens you can sell the females you no longer need at a profit and buy the new females you need. Just add a male when your girls are ready. I can't tell you the money I would have saved if I had followed this plan when I was starting out.
