Calf history

  • 1996 -Tested positive for pregnancy in January. B8164 was never visually located until October 25, 1996; she did not have a calf with her. If she ever had a live calf, we will never know.

  • 1997 -Tested positive for pregnancy in March. On May 26, she and her calf were located from an airboat; the calf was collared. On July 1 the calf's collar went on mortality mode; only the collar was found with a tooth mark. Either the calf was killed by a large predator or a predator scavenged the carcass.

  • 1998 - Tested negative for pregnancy in March.

  • 1999 - May 19 calf seen with B8164 during aerial survey. The calf was laying down in a willow stand.

  • 2000 - Cow and new calf seen on June 5 and 29; both sightings occurred from
    a plane. They were in willow/marsh habitat.
