RE: Will a female continue to breed even after ovulation

I have never seen a female breed after ovulation, but I'm very obsessed during breeding season, and check them 2 or 3 times a day.
So, that being said, I have never put a male back in after an observed ovulation. But I can't say they wouldn't.

As for male contact; disregarding the obscure sperm retention scenarios, male contact is necessary, for a female to sustain late stage follicular development. However, this alone is not a guarantee that the female will ovulate.

I had 4 females in the 1400- 1500g range not ovulate this year, despite over 10 observed copulations from proven breeder males.

It happens.
