Thats a good question. I dont think long term sperm retention is all that common. If it were, I think you would hear alot more stories like "I bred her to a Lesser and out popped Pastels and I havent bred her to a Pastel since last fall?" You do not get that very often, if ever... I think sperm retention is more of a last ditch effort to procreate than a common occurance, but I could be very wrong?

You can always buy 1000 - 1200 gram virgin females that will be set to go for you by next year?
