Lisa | Cattle

Aurochs are considered to be the progenitors of around 500 breeds of cattle that we still know today. However, the wild form of the aurochs died out around 1627 and with the last specimen, a primeval witness to the Stone Age also died. During the turmoil of the Second World War, two brothers set themselves…

Knut | Cattle

A few weeks ago, we received an email from a young, desperate student from Carinthia. Her parents wanted to have the Dahomey cattle slaughtered because it had become difficult for them to look after the animals. With Knut only 7 years old and Hannah 6 years old, the young woman was heartbroken to slaughter these…

Irene_Henrike | 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-breed, created during the turmoil of the Second World War, as the original form had already died out around 1627. But no…

Susi | Cattle

One farmer lost track - the work was too much and there were simply too few hours in the day for him. Requirements were also changing and legislation was becoming increasingly strict. At the end of the day, he was no longer able to look after his animals and keep everything in good condition, but…

Roswitherl | Cattle

Gut Aiderbichl has set itself the goal of rescuing animals in need; a total of 6,000 animals already live on the Aiderbichl farms. Recently, the animal rescuers received an urgent call from a farmer in Styria. Quadruplets have been born on the dairy farm in the Hartberg-Fürstenfeld district, which is tantamount to a minor miracle.…

Cappuccino | 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…

Josefa | Cattle

Cow Josefa ran away from the butcher ... It was a day when the animal rescuers from Gut Aiderbichl picked up two cattle, Jule and Frieda, from a farmer whose barn had completely burned down. Shortly before they drove home, a cow ran past them - as fast as the wind. It was Josefa, who…

Kathi | Cattle

Two sisters met the little calf shortly after it was born. They were on vacation at the farm and christened the little new arrival Kathi. They quickly built up a relationship with Kathi and visited her every day. When the vacation was over, the family learned that Kathi would soon be leaving the farm -…

Wolga | Cattle

A farmer once put it in a nutshell: "Turbo cows" work themselves up. After all, they produce more than twice as much milk as cows did ten years ago. This is at the expense of their health, and at the end of their short career they are exhausted wrecks. A turbo cow is not a…

Senta | Cattle

A farmer from Henndorf am Wallersee gave up, because dairy farming was becoming a bitter struggle - too much work for too little pay. Survival is hardly possible these days. At Gut Aiderbichl, his favorite cow Senta was allowed to move in and retire. Please support us with a sponsorship so that we can continue…

Karli | Cattle

They stand in rows and rows at the calf auctions - the calves and future breeding cattle. Karli was one of them. It turned out that he was too small for breeding and that something was wrong with one of his hind legs: Karli was limping. He wormed his way into the heart of an…

Angelino | Cattle

When Angelino was born, he didn't have it easy. He suffered severe pneumonia immediately after birth. In addition, parasites had an easy time infecting the body of the small, sick calf. As a result, he was unable to grow properly and was considered to be a wasted animal. Conventional use was out of the question.…
