== 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 mature follicle. Also, receptivity to the male can be displayed by females with no follicles in the [[Camelids_%28LLamas_%26_Alpacas%29_-_Female_Anatomy_-_Anatomy_%26_Physiology#Ovary|ovaries]] and for up to 7 days after ovulation or when pregnant and progesterone levels are high. Oestrous behaviour therefore cannot be used reliably to decide the timing of breeding.
