Hilde Die Kuh: Missing heartbreaker roams the Rhein-Sieg district!

In Nümbrecht, a runaway cow called "Hilde" causes excitement. Since December, the shy of people has been traveling alone in the Rhein-Sieg district. So far, all the attempts to capture Hilde has failed what animal rights activists attribute to various factors. Private searches would only have put the cow into unrest, which, according to Franz Bellinghausen, chairman of the Oberberg district farmers, was counterproductive.

Bellinghausen emphasizes that Hilde will find enough food, even in the winter conditions. Small branches, branches and old grass are available to her as food sources, which means that she should not suffer hunger. The thick fur of the cow also protects you from cold and precipitation. He assumes that Hilde will probably seek protection in fenstery fessing when rain. It is also believed that she could search for a herd.

To make it easier to capture the cow, Bellinghausen suggests bringing calm animals from a dairy herd to hild closeness. At the same time, he warns that this is not a guarantee of success. The longer the cow lives alone in the wild train, the more difficult it could be to control it. So far, the district police authority in Siegburg has not reported any dangerous situations in road traffic.

In another context, an agricultural business in the canton of Freiburg deals with the rearing of suckling cows. Fabian Cotting runs the company and comprises 40 hectares of agricultural area with 75 uckwater cows. These are divided into three groups, which contributes to stress avoidance in the small calves. Cotting, which has had experience in mother cow husbandry since 2002, attaches great importance to animal welfare and uses a lot of straw for the stable. His cows receive a balanced diet with a mixture of grass silage and other feed and enjoy the run on pastures in summer.

The calves are separated from their mothers in groups and receive special feed to promote their development. Cotting ensures that the health needs of the animals are covered by minerals and vitamins in order to secure well -being, as is documented in its company.
