Question??

How much time is required for a stud to "re-load" you might say?

Breeding Question

According to a Reproductive Specialist vet that I went to in 2011, when I asked her that same question, she replied that sperm production is "an on-going process" all the time, and that a healthy male could breed (with results) in the morning, & again that same afternoon. She said to give him a few hours of rest and he would be fine for a 'repeat performance'.

She also warned not to overwork a younger male; her definition of 'younger male' was a male that is only one year old, or so. Overwork (according to her) would be using that young male every day, or several times per week during his first year. When I asked her what would happen if the young male was over-worked, she responded by telling me that he could go sterile.
