I've never had that issue once I bred less often. It hasn't affected fertility so I stick with it.
    100% agree with you, Dave. I see people letting their males lock with the same female far to many times. More than 5 locks is completely unnecessary folks, and overworks the male. I personally like to get 3-4 locks. Nature will take over from there
