Description
We, that is Micha, Elisabeth and Kids ( Twin Girls born 2015, 2 boys born 2016 and 2018) plus Loki our herding dog live on a rented farm in an area called Waldviertel in Lower Austria. We breed Texas Longhorn Cattle and Beefmaster cattle as first breeder in Austria which is quite challenging, as this includes quite a lot of visitors that have never seen this cattle races around here. We also do pastured poultry in special "chicken tractors" that move daily and also started that type of project as first in Austria. Although we are not certified we carry the organic way in our hearts. No chemical fertilizer, hormones or antibiotics go into our animals. Micha is a former apprentice of Polyface Farms (Joel Salatin). Elisabeth works with Homeopathie on our animals and family a lot. We like to cook seasonal and regional ingredients in international and local dishes. We have our own Burgers with visitors and friends and enjoy a glass of wine in the evenings outside if weather is warm enough. We also like ordering Pizza every once in a while. ;-)

Mes animaux
Beefmaster
We also breed so called "Beefmaster" - a meat breed that is very hardy, super gentle and the opposite of the Texas Longhorn.
Pastured Chicken
We run pastured chicken during the summer month's and direct market them. We also have a handful of laying hens for our own eggs.
Schnurli
Schnurli is our Ragdoll tomcat (male cat). As you can see he does not care what the kids are playing with him, as long as he gets his food. ;-)
Texas Longhorns
Texas Longhorns have very long horns. But they are also a very calm race and besides that they come in all colors. We breed them also direct market their meat.
Loki (5 ans)
Loki is our herding dog. He works everything that moves: Chicken, Pigs, Sheep and of course our cattle. Besides his duties, he is a very friendly family dog. A little shy in the beginning but once made friends, super super happy for every belly scratch.
