I can confirm that Becky died in 2014 at the age of 22yrs, Dian & Jemimma died in 2019, Jemmima was also 22yrs.

Ronnie (born 2017 Thorn x Ella) & Evan (born December 2016 Thorn x Gertrude) both moved to Wingham in October 2020 however Evan died in December 2020.

Ruedi (born 2017 Thorn x Nora- whoever she is) & Shrimp (born 2018 Thorn x Jemmima) both moved to Folly Farm in July 2021. Both are still alive.

Ronnie, Evan, Ruedi & Shrimp are all bulls.

Gertrude should still be alive and last gave birth in 2018 I believe.

Excellent information @masonstar

Becky did indeed die in 2014 at the age of 22(this was confirmed in the Animal Park episode covering Kate's illness)

Twiza - Dob 1999 died 2014

As far as I'm aware Gertrude is still alive and a regular breeder and persume Noah died as well but had no confirmation

Thought Jemmima had a daughter called Kruger in 2010 i remember it on social media plus Century was Jolly's 10th calf.

There was a female born in 2012 called Mary, mother was Ella or Eliza

......and correct....MARY in my list born november 2012 by ELIZA......but when my info by ELLA that THEA is the 5th of her....could be that MARY is ELLAS....in my list november 2011 birth by GLORIA, december 2011 birth by TWIZA
 
It was mentioned in a previous Animal Park series that a serious illness had gone through the herd (it wasn't filmed, just mentioned in relation to something else a few years after it happened) and had killed off several individuals in the process. I think Henry and Lewa were among them.. Probably took place sometime between 2012 and 2016ish? Sorry I can't remember more details

I know Jemimma's death was because of Compilabacta in 2019 (this was covered in the "Kate was ill" programme) maybe this affected the rest of the herd? At least they still have a few young females for when the breeding programme restarts there
 
Confirmation that Mary( Doto x Eliza 2012) is still alive and turns 10 years old today.
