Figured out the buck problem

So another two does came into heat yesterday. I was about to pull my hair out until I thought to look today at when I gave the buck that I am using his BOSE shot. I gave it maybe a week or so before I started first breeding all the does . I have read that it can lower sperm count, and since I was only breeding each doe once combined with it was the first heats/breedings of the year I think it explains why so many came back into heat.

I am trying not to let myself panic thinking I am going to end up having everyone kidding out with May babies. So far out of 9 I have 2 that seem to have settled and we shall see on at least 4 more next month. Cross your fingers I get these danged girls bred!
