Original text on this topic:
The birth rate of the present population was 13.6%, compared to one of 24.1 % reported for the period 1964-1966 by Goddard (1967a). However, during my second visit to the area, a year later (December 1983), five more calves had been born, thus raising the birth rate to 24.2%, a value very close to that recorded by Goddard.
