The aim of the initiative is to show farmers an alternative in the form of a cow boarding farm instead of traditional livestock farming.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Together we visited a farmer who I have known for a long time via social media. The farmer runs what is known as a suckler cow farm, where the bull, cows and calves live together in a herd. We had many valuable conversations in the middle of this herd of cows. I was particularly impressed by the calm that this herd spread, which of course speaks for how the farmer treats his animals.<br>First of all the herd bull Fridolin. He immediately cast a spell over me. Never before had I met such a gentle bull in person.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/71A9990D-D21B-4F86-8A30-3C79B932DB08-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1881\" style=\"width:683px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/71A9990D-D21B-4F86-8A30-3C79B932DB08-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/71A9990D-D21B-4F86-8A30-3C79B932DB08-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/71A9990D-D21B-4F86-8A30-3C79B932DB08-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/71A9990D-D21B-4F86-8A30-3C79B932DB08-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/71A9990D-D21B-4F86-8A30-3C79B932DB08-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/71A9990D-D21B-4F86-8A30-3C79B932DB08-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/71A9990D-D21B-4F86-8A30-3C79B932DB08-80x60.jpg 80w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Herd bull Fridolin<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>And then the heartbreaking information that made me very sad: the slaughter date for Fridolin had already been set and was planned just a few days after this meeting.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We continued to discuss the boarding model, the possibility of cow sponsorship and Fridolin again and again. It was obvious how heavy Fridolin's planned slaughter date was on the family's hearts.<br>Before we drove home, Angelina said to me: \"I don't think Fridolin is going to die.\" - and thus expressed my thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Fridolin should live<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Just a few days later, I spoke to the farmer again on the phone. Even though he decided against converting the farm to a cow boarding model for the time being, he also made a different decision: <strong>Fridolin will stay - forever!<\/strong> The planned slaughter date was canceled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Full of joy at the decision, I immediately took on a sponsorship for Fridolin. In the meantime, other people have joined me in supporting Fridolin's forever home in this way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went there again shortly afterwards. To visit my new godchild, but above all to talk about a completely different topic....<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>I told the farmer about my very personal heart's desire: I wanted to rescue a pregnant cow.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a child, I was often present when calves were born. Without exception, they were separated directly from their mothers. Almost all of the cows that live on our sanctuary today also grew up without their mothers.<br>I had a deep desire to experience how mother and calf can grow up together and stay together forever. I wanted a cow that may have already lost many calves to experience exactly that. And I wish all the people who follow our stories on social media could experience exactly that - how it could actually be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The cow Hanni and her son Mogli<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>But things turned out differently: instead of a cow, which was certainly pregnant, the family suggested that Hanni and her five-month-old son Mogli could move in with us and told me the story of the two of them while he held Hanni in his arms.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/B8B8307A-BE5F-4C89-9E8E-8F9ADF9560B0.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/B8B8307A-BE5F-4C89-9E8E-8F9ADF9560B0.jpg 768w, https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/B8B8307A-BE5F-4C89-9E8E-8F9ADF9560B0-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/B8B8307A-BE5F-4C89-9E8E-8F9ADF9560B0-9x12.jpg 9w, https:\/\/lebenshof-odenwald.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/B8B8307A-BE5F-4C89-9E8E-8F9ADF9560B0-45x60.jpg 45w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Hanni and her son Mogli<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Hanni, just under ten years old at the time, was the oldest cow in the herd and had already given birth to eight calves.
