Make sure your translation of the verbs in this verse refers to a repeated or habitual activity, not a one-time event. Alternate translation: [so they would mate in front of the branches] or [they would mate where they could see the branches] or [they would see the branches as they were breeding]

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_were_in_heat the,flock to/towards the,branches and,they_bore the,flock streaked speckled and,spotted_[ones] )
See how you translated speckled and spotted in verses 32–33 and 35. Also consider what is the most natural way in your language to refer to the flocks in verses 38 and 39. Alternate translation: [As a result, they would bear offspring that were streaked or speckled or spotted]
OET-LV And_ the_flock _they_were_in_heat to the_branches and_ the_flock _they_bore striped_ones speckled_ones and_spotted_ones.
OET (OET-RV) Thus the flocks would mate by the striped branches, and they would bear young who were streaked, speckled, and spotted.
Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
