[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 1846263, member: 968"] When artificially breeding - the "speed" of the sperm can be utilized to help predict by breeding really early in her cycle vs normal or late in her cycle. But, if you breed too early, you get lower conception rates. Theory being, male sperm is slimmer and faster and arrives at the LOCATION for the egg before the fat slower female sperm. If bred early, male arrives - no egg. Slow poke females arrive as the egg is ovulated. [/QUOTE]
