Why is this considered acceptable?

1. You've bred for about a year or two. It's a small sample size to consider everything in your practice as "successful". You're on the right track though so good for you.

2. That doesn't constitute overfeeding. I feed my breeding females weekly and usually 15% body weight and sometimes 20% if it's a female who has been bred a few years in a row. I don't consitute animals going to be using a large amount of their energy and body and fed a little more to aide in that as overfeeding.

3. If you can't tell the difference between what I mean by overfeeding and what you do then that's on you and how you read my posts. I can't be held responsible for what you understand.

Bingo! I don't feel the need to explain anything beyond what has been said here.
