In our fast-moving times, where efficiency and utility are paramount, 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 Many of them have been replaced by high-performance breeds and have almost disappeared from the scene.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 Keszler, is aware of this threat and wanted to do his bit to preserve the breed. He built up a wonderful herd on his property. But when this became too large, Gery Keszler asked for help and to take them in. Zenzi became an Aiderbichler and gave birth to little Helen on April 27, 2015.

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.

Franz | Sheep

The white mountain sheep Sisi and Franz were confiscated by the veterinary office due to circumstances contrary to animal welfare. The sheep were placed on a farm, but could not stay there for life. Sisi and Franz also lacked proof of origin, so it would have been impossible for private owners to keep the animals…

Sisi | Sheep

The sheep Sisi and Franz were found in the most terrible conditions. Tied up with cable ties, they had to eke out their existence, with no water or food available to the animals for days on end. They were in a miserable condition and, as their papers were incomplete, they could not be used for…

Marilyn Monroe | 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…

Loulou | Sheep

Loulou, a two-year-old black-nosed sheep, lived together with Bubi on a mountain pasture. Unfortunately, the lease expired and the two sheep were placed with a farmer who was unable to keep them as they were used to. So the owners contacted Gut Aiderbichl's animal emergency center. And now they are here - Loulou and Bubi.

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.

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…
