Flecki and his friend Ivanhoe Flecki was discovered by an animal-loving woman on an organic farm when she brought Ivanhoe there. Both were spared the typical life of a bull calf: being slaughtered after fattening. Flecki and Ivanhoe grew into handsome steers and had to change farms again and again until they found safe shelter and a forever home at Gut Aiderbichl in Iffeldorf.
