The article doesn't mention that the calf's father (Bud) was retired to Africa Alive! in June

@karoocheetah: You won't see the calf until next year

@Mark: Herd size is now 9 (4:5)

Is there another pregnant cow?

If all goes to plan there will be 11 of them very soon

Winnie and Meru are expecting soon, Winnie next and it will be very soon.


Fingers crossed for a couple of girls.
