"Completely hopeless" was how experts described the situation of a farmer from the Dirndl Valley in Lower Austria when he approached us with a big request. He had lost the overview, could no longer manage the work alone and now the authorities took notice of him. His cattle were to be culled. Michael Aufhauser and Dieter Ehrengruber wanted to help and took on the problem. Together they developed a plan and cow Patrick got a chance for a happy and species-appropriate life.
