The mainly white calf, labelled number 2 with a blue marker, is showing behaviour suggesting that it does not wish to play with its pen mates.  When it does briefly join in the game, it stimulated a combination of leg lifting, head turning and tail wagging.  Note that calves in one pen do not necessarily all play at the same time.
