The Charolais bull Merkur was sold as a young calf to a fattening farm. Here he was supposed to reach his slaughter weight as quickly as possible. But after a few months, the fattener noticed that Merkur was growing much slower than the other bulls in the barn. He was therefore unprofitable and was to be sent to the slaughterhouse prematurely. Animal lovers found out about the young bull and asked the fattener for a reprieve. They wanted to prevent Merkur from dying and were looking for a good place for him. They asked us and we were able to agree to take him in. Here he can grow and live without pressure. Just as nature intended.
