Cape Buffalo calf

Knowsley imported a bull from Boras, Sweden a couple of years ago. I think your thinking of them rather than West Mids.

Thanks for the info Nisha- yes, it was Knowsley I was thinking of. Its possible only one or two of their females were still young enough to breed.

Having just spoken to a contact at Knowsley - Knowsley bred 1.0 in 2012 and then had another male calf born in 2013. At the moment they have 3.2 (including both bull calves) and hope to breed again the future

It would be nice to see these return to Whipsnade

We should add them to the wishlist- along with Wildebeest and Polar Bear.

Sounds like two or three of their elder females have died(or moved) then as they did have 5 before the male came....

Do you know the sexes of the calves at West Mids?
