Well this is how I see it. I start cooling every year on October 1, and I keep them cool until January 1, and that is it. This 3 months is enough for me. But I do still continue to breed until the female rejects the male. This means that if the female will still let the male breed her, I keep breeding them. Once she has big follicles, they will stop breeding. Most of my animals will breed until Feb, by then most females are heavily gravid. this is just my experience.
