While visiting a farm, a visitor curiously opened a shed door. In the darkness of the windowless shed, she could make out a cow. She was standing there all alone and tethered. Excited, the animal lover called Michael Aufhauser: "I want to buy this cow free. Can she come to you?" But it didn't happen that quickly, the owner didn't want to sell Natascha, who was part of a support program. It was only after weeks of negotiations that the time had come. Aiderbichler Hans Wintersteller was supposed to pick her up. But Natascha fought back in panic. Only a vet could help, he sedated Natascha and only then was she ready to be transported. After arriving at Gut Aiderbichl, we put the trailer in the door of the prepared box. She got out with a blind over her eyes. When we took the blind off, she jumped so high that she demolished the ceiling light. The vet present had to sedate her again. Natascha is gradually becoming calmer. People can't get to her yet. We throw straw and hay over the two-meter-high railing of the box. Aiderbichler animal keeper Sandra, a trainee vet, talks to her every day. It took a long time for her to forget her years of "imprisonment". But she has made it and is happy.
