Lotte | Cattle

Lotte - An udder infection meant her end Gut Aiderbichl was able to buy the cows Liesl and Lotte from a cattle dealer before he would have taken them to the slaughterhouse.

Michaela | Cattle

When a picture reached us in January 2013, we stared at it in bewilderment. A cow was walking fearfully and confused through a cemetery. Local residents had taken the picture and animal lovers had sent it to us. We immediately tried to find out who the cow belonged to and what exactly had happened. When…

Spätzle | Cattle

An animal welfare organization held its hands protectively over a small herd of Galloway cattle. If they had not done so, they would have been slaughtered and their bodies would have been disposed of, as their owner had not complied with the regulations - so it was unthinkable that they would be integrated into the…

Tony | Cattle

An Aiderbichler woman contacted us in despair. She got to know a small bull calf in a stable where her own animals are kept. Even though she knows how farming works and that it is normal to sell bull calves for fattening and ultimately for slaughter, she did not want to accept this for her…

Edelweiß | Cattle

Edelweiß - a Pustertal sprint calf was looking for a forever home. The owners wrote a touching email stating that Edelweiß was not suitable for breeding due to a deformity.

Hermine | Cattle

Winchester | Cattle

In 2008, a cattle breeder from Hallertau contacted us at Gut Aiderbichl's head office. He told us that he had a breeding bull that now had to be retired. But he and the bull had an incredible friendship, so much so that the farmer could even ride on the back of the tame animal. He…

Burgi | Cattle

Austria still has huge areas of forest dating back to aristocratic times. They are unmanageable and seem endless. A white Charolais bull has been hiding in a place like this in picturesque Burgenland since October 2011. We took up his pursuit and had to use many a trick. So we bought Bugi the cow from…

Büxi | Cattle

The young cow led a shadowy existence in the Landshut area for four months before she was caught by the animal rescuers from Gut Aiderbichl. Her case is somewhat reminiscent of our Yvonne, but with the difference that the first rescue attempt was immediately successful. In the many weeks following her escape, hardly anyone knew…

Rosi | Cattle

The fact that Rosa and her mother can live in peace at Gut Aiderbichl today is thanks to a huge stroke of luck and their farmers. Mama Glück belongs to the Pinzgau breed of cattle, which is an endangered breed. She lived for many years on a small farm in Salzburger Land. The animals there…
