In 2008, a cattle breeder from the Hallertau region contacted us at Gut Aiderbichl headquarters. He told us that he had a breeding bull that had to be taken out of service. But he and the bull had such an incredible friendship that the farmer could even ride on the back of the tame animal. He did not want to sell him to a butcher and asked for his bull Ernstl to be taken in. This is how we got to know Christian Kögl, who also visited his Ernstl at Gut Aiderbichl Deggendorf again and again. A few months later, when a large rescue of 15 Galloway cattle was about to take place, Michael Aufhauser remembered the likeable farmer from the Hallertau and called him. Together they forged a cooperation and so Christian Kögl and his cattle became part of our family. Among them was the well-behaved Zontana.
