The fight for the first Boskarin cattle in Carinthia: An animal adventure!

Former senior Scientologist Mike Rinder has died at age 69 after a long battle with esophageal cancer, his family said. He was diagnosed a year and a half ago and most recently posted a family photo for Christmas showing him and his family in a happy time. His wife, Christie Collbran, paid tribute to him in a moving post in which she praised his bravery and integrity and recalled his last words: "By the time you read this, I have left this world," she quoted him as saying. Rinder was a member of Scientology for over three decades and was widely known for his criticism of the organization, particularly through the Emmy-winning documentary series “Scientology and the Aftermath,” which he co-hosted with Leah Remini.

A new beginning for Boskarin cattle in Carinthia

In another part of Europe, in Carinthia, there is surprising news in agriculture: a month ago the first Boskarin cattle bred in Carinthia were born. Rupert Jesenko, an orthopedist and part-time farmer, brought this ancient breed of cattle from Istria to Austria. After overcoming a few bureaucratic hurdles, he managed to settle the cattle in Carinthia. “The Boskarines are now officially here and have already produced offspring,” said Jesenko proudly about the first calf that was named Bonita.

Bonita's birth went smoothly and she is already showing confidence. It will be exciting to see how she integrates into the existing herd, said Jesenko. “Everyone is curious to see how she will fit into the hierarchy – nine-year-old Mara is considered the boss in the stable.” Jesenko describes the Boskarin cattle as calm animals that also show remarkable adaptability to the climate. Cattle from Istria have seen snow for the first time, but feel comfortable, even in winter, in the new stable that protects them from moisture and drafts.

Breeding of Boskarin cattle continues in Carinthia, and Jesenko already has more calves in sight - a sign of the growing interest in this ancient breed of cattle.
