If you watch the most recent kiddings of weed em and reap and their Nigerian goats they have had quite a bit of success with doelings this year by letting the buck mate just once at the beginning of their cycle of course this isn't very practical for large farms but it seemed to have worked their second kidding of this year they just wanted their does bred and didn't mind if their had doelings or bucklings and they have had about 50/50. I find all of this extremely fascinating.
There's supposedly a link with age of bull and sex ratio. Young bulls produce more male sperms. Which is a problem for conventional semen in AI when the bulls are usually being collected as young as possible. I can't give you a citation unfortunately.
Very interesting. Thanks very much!

"A heifer's heifer fills the farm full of heifers" . Is an old saying I heard. So there is a bit of truth to it according to your video.

Hmmm 🤔
The English Guernsey Cattle Society are collecting conventional from older bulls that's how I know about it.
