Some choose solitude, some fight for their social position, while others form supportive bands of brothers and roam together quite contentedly. But who will get our Father\u2019s Day Award?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Roosters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In the chicken world, there is an ever-changing pecking order and in a mixed flock, a rooster would normally take the top spot. There is a lot of responsibility in holding this position, requiring the alpha to remain vigilant, protect the flock from outside attack, and sort out squabbles within it. But with responsibility comes perks and privileges, notably with food and females.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"798\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rooster.jpg\" alt=\"Rooster outside\" class=\"wp-image-112995\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rooster.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rooster-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rooster-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rooster-800x532.jpg 800w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/rooster-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One rooster can watch over, care for and mate with a flock up to 15 hens. If the flock is larger and contains several roosters, the males will naturally create their own mini flocks within the flock and will generally leave the other males alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But when the highest-ranking male tires of the responsibility, or when he ages and his reign is overthrown, he descends the pecking order again. Maybe it\u2019s a relief after the high-pressure service he has given.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Turkeys<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Like chickens, wild turkeys are social beings, but their friendship groups look very different to those of chickens. At about six months old, males from the same brood break away and form a sibling bachelor group that can last for life. This band of brothers is incredibly loyal to one another, and fiercely protective, and are predictably hostile to incomers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/male-turkey.jpg\" alt=\"Male turkey showing off his feathers\" class=\"wp-image-113008\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/male-turkey.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/male-turkey-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/male-turkey-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/male-turkey-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/male-turkey-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>While the females and their offspring live together in one large flock, the males keep to their own smaller flocks, and roam the forests together. They chat amongst themselves almost constantly, to reassure, to let others know their location, to express their feelings, and to warn of danger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within the male flocks, there is a hierarchy, and fights do break out at times, but life is generally pretty peaceful. They often follow the same route and routines every day, going to the same feeding grounds, all the while at least one will keep a lookout. At night, when they need to sleep, the boys roost in trees to avoid predators, and sleep soundly until the morning when they start a new day, following their usual paths, and watching each other\u2019s backs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Boars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Boars do things a little differently. While several sows may form a matriarch-led social group and take care of their offspring communally, most boars prefer their own company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/boar.jpg\" alt=\"Boar walking outside\" class=\"wp-image-113021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/boar.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/boar-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/boar-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/boar-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/boar-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>They generally live a solitary life except for the during the mating season and are not shy of a full-on fight with another male when competing for females. Females and piglets vocalise more than the males &#8211; with a whole range of grunts, barks, growls and squeals. The males are more often the strong silent type who reportedly get grumpier with age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not all are loners, though. Some young males form a bachelor group, and studies have shown that these friendship groups can survive even into adulthood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Bulls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedaily.com\/releases\/2012\/03\/120327124243.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Research<\/a> has found that all modern cows could be descended from as few as 80 animals that were domesticated from now-extinct aurochs (wild oxen) more than 10,000 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bull.jpg\" alt=\"Bull\" class=\"wp-image-113034\" srcset=\"https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bull.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bull-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bull-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bull-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/veganuary.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/bull-150x100.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Credit: Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s hard to know how wild bulls behave given the modern cow is a world away from the aurochs, but there can be clues in the behaviour of the \u201cChillingham Cattle\u201d &#8211; a herd that has remained genetically isolated for hundreds of years and who live wild on an estate in Northumberland. There, the females have a complex social system while the males have a simple pecking order when they are in the same area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For most bovids, it\u2019s the mothers who care for the young but the males of one distant relation of the modern cow, the musk ox, also protect them, forming a defensive circle around them when threatened. Our Father\u2019s Day Award therefore goes to the Musk Ox.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This Father\u2019s Day, we\u2019d like to introduce you to some of the male animals whose relations are commonly farmed to&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":131,"featured_media":112999,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[648],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-114588","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-animals-en-za"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Farmyard Fathers | Roosters, Turkeys, Boars &amp; Bulls | Veganuary ZA<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"We often hear about mothers in the animal kingdom, but what about dads?
