Question Those who stand their bucks

I am wondering how many outside does you breed to your buck(s) annually?

Very few. Almost exclusively does I have sold that year or the year prior.
Although, there are two herds who have borrowed a buck from my herd multiple years. Both have does that originated from my herd. Though one leased another person's buck for the first kidding. I know the health of both herds as they come to me for advice and I work both herds regularly.
I have bred does that did not originate from my herd a few times. It does not happen often though. I do not really market my bucks for stud though. Too concerned about disease around here.

Most are does that I sold the owners in the years before. I do breed a few completely outside does. Usually 5-8 per season.
