Zinc and selenium deficiencies can cause low libido (low sex drive). Do you give a supplement? How much zinc is in it? A loose mineral works best.

Lots of breedings take place at night. Many bucks won't mount a doe until she is in standing heat and smells just right.

Track which does come into heat and see if they come back in 3 weeks or so later. It could be he really is getting the job done.

You can also have your vet examine him to be sure his equipment is healthy.
