Mango2 | Sheep

Every year at Easter, many restaurants like to serve roast lamb. Always eaten with pleasure, but rarely made aware that we are talking about little lambs that are just a few weeks old - children who have just started life full of joy. In Australia, people go so far as to cut off the tails…

Bock Marley | 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…

Fraya | Sheep

Fraya the sheep - suddenly Fraya, Felicia and Finja were lying in the straw Fraya and her sisters were born at Gut Aiderbichl in Henndorf. Mother sheep Flocke should have been taken to the slaughterhouse about five months before she was born. But fate decided otherwise. Flocke became the happy mother of Fraya, Felicia and…

Sophia | Sheep

Jura sheep Sophia did not perform well. She was not suitable for breeding. This means: she takes up space, feed and veterinary costs are incurred, but Sophia does not produce anything. That was the reason why she should have been slaughtered. Above all, Gut Aiderbichl gives animals that are unable to perform their best the…

Otto | 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…

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 Many of them have been replaced by high-performance breeds and have almost disappeared from the scene.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

Maggi | Sheep

Maggi belongs to the so-called Zackel sheep, which are considered to be very robust and hardy. They originate from the Hungarian Pustza and have been considered endangered since 1903. With a lot of effort and ingenuity, this wonderful breed has been saved for modern times, but the danger is not over yet. In our fast-moving…

Hendrik | 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…

Zoe | Sheep

When her mother Mona Lisa came to Gut Aiderbichl in 2018, we didn't know that the Zackelschafdame was pregnant. In February, we were surprised with the two sheep girls Renesmee and Zoe. Mona Lisa didn't have enough milk for Renesmee. The Gut Aiderbichl team stepped in and raised the little sheep. Now she lives happily…

Ike | Sheep

The Animal Welfare Act has many exceptions. This also includes permitted slaughter. With this decree, the legislators wanted to show consideration for people who see the anaesthetic-free bleeding of an animal as the practice of their religion. But for us, the slow bleeding out of an animal while it is fully conscious is serious cruelty…

Lambert | Sheep

The artist Erwin Wurm and his wife Elise Mougin are fascinated by the Hungarian Zackel sheep breed and want to contribute to the preservation of these wonderful animals. Zackel sheep are one of the breeds threatened with extinction. For this reason, they keep a small herd on their property and lovingly look after them themselves.…

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.…
