Filou | Cattle

A father and his disabled child witnessed a miracle: they were allowed to be present at the birth of a bull calf. The child immediately fell in love with the calf and named it Filou. When they heard that Filou was destined for fattening, they wanted to leave no stone unturned to help him. Filou…

Curly | Cattle

Curly and Choco, two bulls in a stable in Styria, were to be taken to the slaughterhouse. The farmer's daughter and a friend wanted to spare them this fate. They were looking for a sanctuary for Choco and Curly so that they could finally leave their stable and enjoy the sun, wind and rain. So…

Jana | Cattle

We got to know Jana and her family back in 2017. Back then, we brought Sammy, Jana's "husband", a West Highland bull, to Gut Aiderbichl because he had been taken out of service as a breeding bull. Eight years later, we received another call for help from the farmer's family: the farmer had had a…

Oliver | 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 would like to prevent this and save the animals, but…

Toni | Cattle

When we gave our calf Toni the go-ahead in February 2015, we were delighted to be able to give him a new home. But at the same time, it made us sad. This is because many male calves from breeds such as Jersey cattle do not find buyers in Austria. They are much more difficult…

Lilo | 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…

Thomas | Cattle

Veterinary offices are increasingly contacting us and asking for help. This was also the case with Thomas the bull. He had been confiscated by the authorities two weeks earlier because the owner was no longer able to continue keeping the animals. You can imagine the conditions under which the one-year-old bull had to grow up.…

Prinz | Cattle

For cows to produce milk, they have to give birth to a calf every year - these are considered a "by-product". Bull calves like Prinz are particularly hard hit. Their path usually leads them to the slaughterhouse. But Prinz was lucky. An animal-loving lady fell in love with a little calf that she thought was…

Beauty | Cattle

Beauty and other cattle were taken on by a livestock farmer on an organic farm. Quasi in retirement. The group of cattle grew larger and larger. In the beginning, the payment for the animals worked, until the payments stopped at some point. Last but not least, the farmer's farm was also affected by the floods…

Vroni | Cattle

The famous cow Yvonne has more than impressively demonstrated that cows are very clever. But Vroni is also in no way inferior to her fellow cow when it comes to intelligence. During the Easter period, she escaped from her home barn and could not be caught for more than half a year. All the farmer's…

Heidi | Cattle

For cows to produce milk, they have to give birth to a calf every year - these are considered a "by-product". Bull calves like Prinz are particularly hard hit. Their path usually leads them to the slaughterhouse. But Prinz was lucky. An animal-loving lady fell in love with a little calf that she thought was…

Indira | 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…
