Question
my  female is in heat she is long legged and my male is short legged. this is the third heat and no luck. what can we do to get them to hook up. she is doing everything to  let him but he is retarded and putting it everywhere but where he should be putting it.

Answer
Hi Allen

There are a number of things you can try.

Doing the breeding on a sloping incline.  Letting your male stand on the phone book, pillows or padded blanket or A.I., all will give him the leg up he needs.

You may have to hold the female and guide the male.

Good luck
