Cattle Maxl

Auguste | Cattle

One spring day, we received a call from the Association Against Animal Factories. They told us that cattle had been found in a barn where the chains had already grown into the flesh. These animals were now to be slaughtered in an emergency. The association wants to prevent this and save the animals, but what…

Eva | Cattle

They stood there magnificently when the Gut Aiderbichl team arrived on site. Aurochs as we knew them from cave paintings, proud and wild. But the aurochs as they stood before us were a back-bred breed, created during the turmoil of the Second World War, as the original form had already died out around 1627. But…

Linara | 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…

Bully | Cattle

Bully was rescued thanks to a dear animal friend. Now he has found great friends at Gut Aiderbichl Deggendorf: Kathi and Karli.

Pongie | Cattle

Pongie received a terrible diagnosis immediately after his birth: unfit for breeding! The only way Pongie could go now was to be fattened and after months in a confined space, he would be slaughtered! Christian Kögl, cattle rescuer from Gut Aiderbichl, did not want this to happen and, after consultation with Michael Aufhauser, brought Pongie…

Liesl | Cattle

Liesl - 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. Due to their inflamed udders, they had become worthless in the dairy industry. Mastitis often spells the end for cattle as livestock. Liesl…

Maharani | Cattle

The flood of the century in 2013 in the Deggendorf area was a real test for the entire Gut Aiderbichl team. The staff worked day and night to save as many animal lives and help as many people as possible. So we made our way to the affected areas and asked to be allowed to…

Daniela | Cattle

When a calf was born on a small farm in Bavaria, the farmers were astonished. The little calf was born without eyes and without a tail. The farmer told his friends in amazement, but also that it would probably be euthanized. The little calf could not be used for fattening or for his dairy farm.…

Primo | Cattle

Dahomey cattle are considered the smallest breed of cattle in the world and originate from West Africa. They are only one meter tall and weigh 300 kilograms. This wonderful breed of cattle was named after the former kingdom of Dahomey (now Benin, Africa). They first became known in Europe after a zoo introduced them as…

Jilon | Cattle

A farmer was simply overwhelmed with the management of his cattle. He had long since lost track of things and had no strength to tackle the problems on his farm. Christian Kögl, Gut Aiderbichl's cattle rescuer, became aware of him and offered his support. When he discovered a cow in the barn whose chains had…

Enne | Cattle

Years ago, a farmer's wife approached us with her request. Her story made us shiver. She told us that one fateful day, her otherwise well-behaved cow Verona attacked and ultimately killed a walker and her dog. At that time, Verona and her calf were allowed to become Aiderbichler cows, but the resulting consequences and repercussions…

Chantal | Cattle

Christian Kögl's attention was drawn to a business that was in extreme difficulties. The owner was no longer in control of the situation and had completely lost control.
