=== Oestrous Behaviour ===
   −
The proportion of females displaying strong oestrus behaviour is usually small and not all the females will show all these signs, despite the presence of a [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|mature follicle]]. Also, receptivity to the male can be displayed by females with no [[Follicles - Anatomy & Physiology|follicles]] in the [[Camelid_Female_Anatomy_- Anatomy & Physiology#Ovary|ovaries]] and for up to 7 days after [[The_Ovary_-_Ovulation_- Anatomy & Physiology|ovulation]] or when pregnant and progesterone levels are high. Oestrous behaviour therefore cannot be used reliably to decide the timing of breeding.
