Great picture! Any news on pregnancies there yet...

By the way, with Nina at Dompierre having just given birth to Jade, is there any news on her own mother Kaveri being pregnant? She's already had 3 calves and is only 24, so plenty more time for another calf or two!!

No more news about any pregnacy. As I told before I think we will hear the news if Amersfoort is 200% sure about it. But I didn't spoke any keeper today.

I have no news about Kaveri. But it is not impossible for her to be pregnant but maybe she's the only one who knows it... Or she's is taking her time. Maybe she don't like Chang. Who knows? We need a French member.

Another great photo of a bull, thanks. I heard about cows being choosy with bulls at some occassions espicially matriachs, but in this case Kaveri probably just doesn't like him, cows can get used to a certain level or apperance of a bull, being used to Siam, there is no surpise here. Perhaps also she just wants a little more time?

I have seen a picture of Chang mating Kaveri in the internet some time ago but I can`t find it back. There are many different reasons why a female may not get pregnant again, and without any information I don`t understand how you can say that she "probably" just doesn`t like Chang. A bit too much speculation based on zero facts, I`d say.

Were they talking about any individual bulls ? For example Like Radza?

Here is a photo of Radza with his youngest son Anandá. I noticed on other photos that Anandá has the same eyes as his father.
