Its interesting that Upali grew up as part of the group. But the previous bull 'Chang' also seemed to be seperated in the bull pen most of the time, and now it seems to be the same with Upali.( and irrespective of Birma, who could be seperated with Sheba anyway) I am not quite sure why he's so often alone, possibly to prevent any unwanted early or unplanned pregnancies- though I've seen the youngest calves squeeze through the bars and join him.

There are some bulls that are a great fatherly figure to the herd, Such as Radza, why even he even sometimes does weight on his tusks with Unt Bwe and Myo Set Kaung!

some that were even aggressive beforhand then suddenly calmed down and became well behaved a good example is Bindu. He and Sang Raja seem to get on quite well as somewhat of a father-son combo. Did Upali and Chang get along so?
