I have a few males that are on the smaller side this year that I hope to get a bit larger before breeding season.

I have a couple questions. First of all, can anyone give me any advice regarding smaller sized males breeding? Do they get pushed around by larger females, and should I restrict breeding to some smaller sized females?

Also, can anyone give advice on a type of rotation for breeding 1 male to multiple females? Sewards video explains some sort of 3 days on/off with 1 male and limiting him to 5 females, and then some time to feed, etc. What has worked for everyone else?

Thanks.
