I find it hard to believe the duration of the cooling period has any effect on the paternity of the young. The amount of viable ova produced perhaps. No one knows how much cycling is needed or if any is needed.



A certain amount of cycling will be produced even without trying so even if you don't cycle, maybe you did enough to get a viable outcome.



















>>Had a 10.5 this year but IMO that's within normal statistical variability. Overall with 162 babies born (157 sexed) I'm at 74.83 or 47% male. Pretty close to even.

>>Last year with a cooler gestational cycle, I had longer gestational periods but had a heavier female outcome. 101 total babies 41.60 or 41% male.

>>I run my cooling cycle about 2 1/2 months.
