Comments / pictures

Mae Boon Roy arrived at the park in 2007. Mae Boon Roy worked in the logging industry in Thailand for most of her life. It is no wonder that she hasn’t bared a calf. Long hours with no time to Graze and just do what nature intended. The park received Mae Boon Roy just 7 days after she left the logging industry. The park is hoping that within the next few years she will be attracted to some of the bulls at the park. Her time frame for having a calf is quite short at the age of 40.
