The highly anticipated arrival of Luk Chai has brought with it the expectation that he will serve as a role model and “brother” figure for the adolescent bull, Man Jai. Their introduction last week was marked by a display of fraternal affection, as the two bonded over a much-needed swim in the warm weather. This development is of great significance, as the inclusion of Luk Chai in our herd will provide Man Jai with opportunities for positive social behavior and life skill development through interaction and observation of an older, more experienced bull. The cohabitation of Luk Chai and Man Jai is a highly positive step for the latter’s growth and development.
