No, you breed a male to her more often when you feel folicles. once they ovulate, they are done!

I would gather Ralph has experience to know when the follicles are at a size that she is most likely committed to fertilization as opposed to absorbing them as well as knowing that she has a good deal of sperm retained for the fertilization process. The rest of us breed until we see ovulation :-P

Wrong. Follicles are developing eggs. Once the female ovulates (the act of fertilization of the follicles and then the new eggs moving into the ovaducts) you can stop breeding her.
