Larry | Sheep

A long-time Aiderbichler had heard about a ram that should have been slaughtered due to lack of space. The Aiderbichler could not allow this, he had fallen too much in love with the ram and now asked us for help. We are happy about every animal that we can help and hope that we will…

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.…

Kyle | Sheep

An animal lover was made aware of a little ram that was unfortunately not accepted by its mother. She immediately agreed to help the little one. She named him Kyle and now had to give him a bottle every two hours. She raised him lovingly and with a lot of effort, but Kyle needed companions,…

Jim, Ready, Lampi-Lampi, Anne and Bonnie are beautiful Carinthian spectacled sheep and had to be given away by the sheep farmers with a heavy heart. The family had kept sheep for 50 years. The barn and the run were leased. Due to a change of ownership, the lease was terminated and the barn was to…

Sissi II | Sheep

At 19 years old, the domestic sheep Sissi II has certainly already given birth to many sheep. Now she is too old for breeding and can no longer give anything to humans. Or can she? Sissi II loves to be stroked, she likes to talk to her humans, rubs her head against them and lets…

Schocko | Sheep

An animal lover contacted the Gut Aiderbichl team by email. She said that sheep had been living in her neighborhood for some time, but now they had to leave the property where they had been living. Their lives were already on a knife's edge, but another neighbor was able to save the sheep from the…

Antonia aus Tirol | 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…

Stefan | Sheep

Gery Keszler, founder and long-time organizer of the Life Ball, has not only made it his mission to support humanitarian causes, but also to help preserve the endangered Zackel sheep. A small herd lives on his property, which he lovingly cares for. When his flock became too large, he asked for help for some of…

Xaver | Sheep

The well-behaved Xaver belongs to the Cameroon sheep breed, which are often used for meat production or for grazing grassland. They live in herds and are very social animals. However, there was apparently no more room for Xaver in the herd and he was cast out. The vet contacted us and asked us to help…
