buck usage

What is the best schedule for using your bucks. I know most recommend breeding twice, an hour apart for 1 doe. I am talking about breeding more than 1 doe. Every day okay or do you need to give the buck a day off. Havent really seen this addressed.

I can't remember all the places I have read it, but I know in several articles the suggestion is to use the buck everyother day. I have used the same buck twice in one day, but only once. It worked out. I think that if the weather is hot, you will need to breed at bight when it is cooler. So one buck for 30 does breeding every other day.

Haven't heard the hour apart thing.
