siring
Producing male heirs
Siring is the act of fathering offspring, used almost exclusively for male animals—especially those bred deliberately: The stallion has been siring champions for a decade.
When applied to humans, it sounds either formal or disparaging, implying the biological act without the responsibilities of fatherhood: He spent his twenties siring children he never supported.
