Sheep Curly

July | Sheep

In our fast-moving times, which are all about efficiency and utility, many breeds have lost their importance. Many of them have been replaced by high-performance breeds and have almost disappeared from the scene. This was also the case with the Zackel sheep, which could only be saved by the efforts of individualists. July's owner, Gery…

Calimero | Sheep

Hendrik and Fleur arrived at Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf together. At the time, we were looking for a friend for our bottle baby Kyle, who couldn't find a home with us at Gut Aiderbichl Henndorf. Aiderbichler employee Birgit became aware of a bottle sheep that was looking for a new home. Dieter Ehrengruber immediately agreed to…

Nicole | Sheep

The owner no longer wanted Nicole, Linda, Anton and Jakob. The small flock of Cameroon sheep with Anton, a young lamb, was discovered. Nobody felt responsible for the animals and it turned out that the owner was no longer interested in them either. It was not really easy to catch the animals, but the Aiderbichl…

Martina | Sheep

Zackelschaf Martina stands for a dying breed of sheep that has been around since the 9th century. The Hungarian Puszta was populated with these sheep and their v-shaped twisted horns for centuries. Industrialization and mechanization have not spared the Zackel sheep. Martina is a true Aiderbichler: she was born to Doris and will stay here…

Sophie | Sheep

Nature couldn't decide whether Sophie should be male or female. Sophie was born a hermaphrodite and is therefore unsuitable for breeding. So Sophie was given away together with the old Eva and Sissi II, who is also too old for breeding. Whether young, old, healthy or with a handicap, animals, like humans, are fellow creatures…

Lucky Tom | Sheep

The stars did not look good for the young sheep girl Lucky Tom. Born in the north of France, she was separated from her mother at the age of 9 months and sent on a transport to Romania. At a rest stop in Bavaria, a family noticed the van and peered into the vehicle while…

Pezi | Sheep

When Pezi came to us, he was very fixated on people. He didn't want to have anything to do with other sheep. That was not normal for a sheep. But Pezi was anything but normal: his mother had rejected him and wanted nothing to do with him. Animal lovers became aware of him and decided…

Wild Head | Sheep

When this call for help reached us, we couldn't believe our ears or our eyes. On a farm in the Graz area, we discovered an animal farm that was unsurpassed in its cruelty. In the midst of animal carcasses, 30 sheep, 1 horse, two donkeys and a pig had to eke out an existence. The…

Paula | Sheep

When Paula was born, she was given just one task: to produce wool, as the farm on which she was born made a living by producing various accessories, such as felt bags or vests, with this very wool. However, even the "simplest task" did not seem to be able to fulfill Paula in the eyes…

Adrian | Sheep

The sheep Adrian, Alissa, Dea, Eva, Fabian-Mattheo, Martina and Werner were born Aiderbichler. They and their parents belonged to a very special breed of sheep: the so-called Zackel sheep, which originate from the Hungarian Puszta and were rescued into modern times with a great deal of effort and ingenuity. Many breeders, including Gery Keszler, the…

Lisl | Sheep

Lisl, a black Jura sheep, and her friend Resl, had a stroke of luck. They should have been slaughtered, but an employee of Gut Aiderbichl took care of the two sheep and was able to bring them to Gut Aiderbichl in Henndorf. Beaming with joy, he visits his two girls as often as he can.…

Lampi-Lampi | Sheep

Lampi-Lampi, Read, Jim, Anne and Bonnie are beautiful Carinthian spectacled sheep and had to be given away by the sheep farmers with a heavy heart. The family had kept sheep for 50 years. The barn and the run were leased. Due to a change of ownership, the lease was terminated and the barn was to…
