Is any one else having a tough time producing males? I mean in any sort of numbers? Thanks. Mike Panichi

50/50 Mike. One male and one female so far. Pathetic I know. Sorry I don't have any real data.

I don't know Jeff. This year, one litter 9 bloods all females. Another tiny litter 2 bloods one male one female. Last season, 5 bloods one male. Two seasons ago, two bloods one male. I'm starting to hear some others say the same. Is anyone out there making males? Thanks. Mike Panichi

That's on the money. Maybe its simply the male I have been using. Thanks. Mike Panichi

Last year I produced 1.0 pewter and 1.1 bloods.
This year it looks like 2.1 bloods.

In people the male determines the sex. In Boas the female determines the sex. So it can't be the male. I suspect it's most likely just the luck of the draw.
