Mother to: Jethro (born 1981), Judith 85, Josephine 90, JIL94 (born april 94), male 98, Japoota 2001.

For a brief time I changed her name to "Ylla", but then she seemed to spend more time with the JAs, and so I reverted back to Jill.

1981: In November 1981 Jill gave birth to her first calf, a male.

1985: Two of the females, Joan and Jill, had conceived during 1983 and managed to carry their calves through 1984. Joan gave birth to a male calf in May 1985 and Jill gave birth to a female in July of the same year. Jill's calf survived but she was small for her age.

1990: Joyce and Jill seemed to be trying to make up for the lack of females by giving birth to daughters in 1990. They were eventually named Jamila and Josephine.

1994: Unusually there were no births in the JA family for nearly four years until Jill gave birth to another daughter in April 1994.

1998: 1998 there was veritable baby boom for the JAs. Jill gave birth to a male in April and her daughter Judith gave birth to her first calf, also a male.

2001: Jill had another daughter in December 2001.

2007: The family gradually began to split with Jill going off with her daughters and their calves. She eventually formed her own family consisting of 10 individuals: Jill and her calves plus her three mature daughters, Judith, Josephine and Jordan and their calves. They became the JA2s.

2009: draught, Jill, died, almost
certainly killed by poachers.
