The bull calf Maiki
A life in the box
Maiki was lucky in misfortune. He was born as a bull calf on a farm. He then spent a lonely life in a box and was soon destined for the slaughterhouse. A walker discovered the bull calf. It was living alone in the box and the two became friends. The farmer said that the calf was not suitable for breeding and should therefore be slaughtered.
The animal-loving man could not believe that his friend would not live much longer. He bought him back and started looking for a stable for “Maiki”.
Keeping him in the garden would not be appropriate
Maiki’s friend knew that cattle need a stable and a large pasture. Of course, he couldn’t offer him either. But at least little Maiki was free and didn’t have to go to the slaughterhouse. He called Gut Aiderbichl. Dieter Ehrengruber heard the story and was delighted that he was doing something for little Maiki. So he did his bit and Maiki was picked up in the Gut Aiderbichl transporter. The journey was to go to Gut Aiderbichl Eslarn.
If anyone can do it with calves, it’s …It smelled of cattle, there was plenty of hay and a gentle journey to Eslarn
Many cattle had already travelled to their “freedom” in the transporter, perhaps Maiki could smell it. In any case, he became calmer and calmer and relaxed more and more. When he arrived in Eslarn, his rescuer and many of his fellow cows were already waiting to greet little Maiki with a quiet “moo”. He has now settled in well and leads a safe and happy life in the stables in Eslarn.
Bull calves and their value
A bull calf brings around five hundred euros. Bulls are needed for breeding, but the majority of bull calves are “disposed of”… Maiki was lucky – he was allowed to live because a person “looked” and showed commitment to an animal’s life. People who respect and love animals will never question their value, but feel respect and love for the four-legged friends who enrich our lives as fellow creatures.
It is only thanks to your support, dear Aiderbichlers, that we can help animals in need, like little Maiki, and give them a forever home. Please continue to help us with a small donation or sponsorship. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your support.
