Mia | Sheep

Mia is a mixed-breed sheep - her mother is a Texel sheep and her father is a Hungarian Zackel sheep. The Texel sheep or Texelaar is a breed of meat sheep that originally comes from the Dutch North Sea island of Texel. The Hungarian Zackel has been around since the 9th century and is unfortunately…

Calimero | 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…

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 Many of them have been replaced by high-performance breeds and have almost disappeared from the scene.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

Marei | Sheep

An Aiderbichl resident contacted us at the Gut Aiderbichl administration office. Her neighbor had died a few months ago and since then she had been looking after the two 10-year-old sheep Marei and Wolli. But things could not go on like this in the long term. The animal lover asked for help and for admission…

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…

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…

Agnes | Sheep

When her mother Mina came to Gut Aiderbichl in 2018, we didn't know that the Zackelschafdame was pregnant. In February, we were surprised with little Agnes. The Hungarian Zackel sheep has probably been around for about 5,000 years. Until the 18th century, it was the predominant breed of sheep in Hungary, but was also widespread…

Adrian | Sheep

The sheep Adrian, Alissa, Dea, Eva, Fabian-Mattheo, Martina and Werner were born Aiderbichler. They and their parents belonged to a very special breed of sheep: the so-called Zackel sheep, which originate from the Hungarian Puszta and were rescued into modern times with a great deal of effort and ingenuity. Many breeders, including Gery Keszler, the…

Mangas | 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…

Barney | 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…

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.…

Loui | Sheep

When his mother Puppi came to Gut Aiderbichl in 2018, we didn't know that the Zackelschafdame was pregnant. In February, we were surprised with little Louis. The Hungarian Zackel sheep has probably been around for around 5,000 years. Until the 18th century, it was the predominant breed of sheep in Hungary, but was also widespread…
