We suggest the following procedure:
- A male is put in every 7th room. Before the male there are 6 rooms with a female in every room. The oldest females are closest to the male. All the female cards are with the back towards you.
- When a female has been tested, her card is placed vertical with the front towards you.
- After the first mating the card is placed horizontal with the front towards you.
- After the second mating the card is placed with back towards you. This way you do not have to check every card to see which females are going to the male.
