You need to differ two aspects: of course nobody is happy about the EEHV and I am well aware that also the studbook keeper is fighting to rescue...
Sure, in terms of bulls I guess the studbook keeper sometimes is not too unhappy about EEHV. Still at some point not too far away in the future...
I could imagine that this is seen as part of a maturity process to live with other young bulls away from the usual home. With the announced moves...
Puna (June 2004) is younger than Satu (March 2004). Older for sure is Ratna (June 2003). So if Brno is right with Satu being the third oldest,...

I guess this is the general rule with exceptions. Zoo Zurich reports on their website that Panang shall have offspring with Thai. I also have my...
Remember that breeding was and is limited. I don't think Panang had a breeding recommendation in Munich. In Zurich it might be a desperation try...
Besides what Yassa wrote, Panang was moved to Munich in 1995. Back then it was common practice to rip matrilines apart due to lacking knowledge...
