The foundation of the herd is the matriarch – a perfect role model who shows great awareness and care for the herd but isn’t afraid to show who is boss when needed. Under her watchful gaze, the herd are exploring more and more of their new home every day. The matriarch’s calmness, confidence and experience are the pure expression of nature – understandably cautious of the human species but willing to forgive and work together. 

The bull is quite shy and cautious but the females are helping him feel comfortable in his new home. The herd routinely eat together nose-to-nose, and the bull runs to the matriarch if he feels threatened or the younger females are picking on him. Female 1 has taken a particular shine to the bull, often following him around and checking on him if he is hanging back from the herd. 

Female 2 - the mother of the calf - is feisty and confident. She is a caring and protective mother and we are beginning to see sparks of her fiery spirit in her calf.   

Female 1 - affectionately known as “one horn” by the team - is shy, inquisitive and the perfect auntie.  She adores the calf and is often seen licking and playing with her.  

Meanwhile, the calf continues to grow on a daily basis and her mischievousness almost matches her appetite. She loves to play and bound around with her mum and auntie, with lots of naps to recharge and give mum a well-earned rest.
