Mimi belongs to the endangered breed of Zackel sheep. They used to be a typical feature of the Hungarian puszta. But unfortunately, due to industrialization, there are only a few thousand of them in the world today and they have almost disappeared from the scene. Little Mimi was born on a farm in Austria, but her life was not under a good star. Her mother died shortly after giving birth and no other Zackel sheep in the breeder's flock wanted to adopt the little orphan lamb. When Aiderbichler horse farmer Martina learned of this fate, she took the little lamb, who was only a few days old, to raise her with a bottle. Not an easy task, but thanks to our experience, Mimi made it.

Herkules | 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 Many of them have been replaced by high-performance breeds and have almost disappeared from the scene.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. Hercules' owner, Gery…

Alissa | 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…

Ben | Sheep

He and his sister were born at the end of February. The mother sheep licked her little sister immediately after the birth and the little one was allowed to drink. Ben was not touched by her and was not allowed to drink. The farmer fed little Ben with a bottle. However, feeding had to be…

Mogli | Sheep

Aiderbichler Christian Kögl found a small Cameroon ram at the edge of a forest. Apparently a shepherd had overlooked the little sheep and simply moved on with the herd. Christian immediately packed up the sheep and took it to the vet. When he was given a clean bill of health, he raised the little Mogli…

Popcorn | Sheep

Love can move mountains - who hasn't heard this saying? But love can do much more: out of love for his girlfriend, a young farmer sold all his animals because she didn't like the smell. He sold the 8 Cameroon sheep to another farmer who took them in temporarily. Interested parties then contacted him and…

Jakob | Sheep

The owner no longer wanted Jakob, Nicole, Linda and Anton. 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…

Hanni | Sheep

Hanni was due to be slaughtered at the age of five. The neighbor was able to save Hanni's life and contacted Gut Aiderbichl's animal emergency center. Hanni is no longer fearful, but is developing self-confidence again. She shows the animal keepers what she likes and what she doesn't like. Have a wonderful life at Gut…

Zimt | Sheep

Cinnamon, sugar and honey, are three Cameroon sheep and were confiscated by the veterinary office. The sheep have been settling in at Gut Aiderbichl in Deggendorf for a few weeks now and we think they have become happy sheep.

Rosi | Sheep

We Aiderbichlers know this from Yvonne & Co. The longer domesticated animals stay in the forest, the more their primal instincts regress. This was also the case with the camera sheep. Plan A was to make them tired with an anaesthetic cocktail - which failed. Plan B, the one with the tranquillizer gun, was rejected.…

Manuel | Sheep

We found Manuel as a small lamb and bought him free. He would probably have been slaughtered or even butchered. We did not want to leave him to this fate and brought him to Gut Aiderbichl. Here he is an ambassador for his species. Please support us with a symbolic sponsorship so that we can…
