According to the Ball Breeding Bible (SKs Video) 1-5 is average but you can do more - keeping it down to 5 allows for each female to get at least one breeding session in per month and allowing for breather for the male. They also point out that you can do more than 5 but that it's best to do with an ultrasound handy so there is no waste and added strain put on the male. I think I've seen people posting that they run their males through 10-12 females - but I also know a lot of people have literally bred their animals to death. 5-7 sounds like a reasonable number to me depending on the size of the male.
