Description
About half of our cows, including the young cattle, are housed on the premises of the Auenhof in Bauschlott, where milking is done by means of a milking robot. At times, two people from the Auenhof work with us.
The freedom of movement of our Fleckvieh cattle is very important to us. Therefore, the animals are allowed to move freely in the so-called deep manure barn here and in the loose box barn at the Auenhof in Bauschlott. Furthermore, most of the year the animals are free to choose between the pasture with fresh grass and the stable, which offers protection from heavy rain or hail, but also from too hot a sun. Our cattle do not have horns. But don't worry, we haven't removed their horns, we work in breeding with genetically hornless animals. As a rule, the calves stay with their mothers for a few days after birth. If you would like to know more about this, please just ask! A dairy cow eats between 12 and 18 kg dry matter per day. With the water contained in the feed, this can be - depending on the feed - up to 30 kg and more, which the cow eats in one day. In addition, she drinks at least 35 litres of water per day, or up to 100 litres if her milk yield is high enough. Therefore, it is important that she has free access to water sources at all times.
We are a family business and love our work. So much so that we are happy to forego holidays, because we have a "cool" programme all year round. As a farm educator, Petra Keller offers many activities, such as informative stable tours, handicraft workshops and small markets.
For your own safety, we ask you to stay on the marked paths. Please be especially careful around the fences, which may be electrified. Thank you very much! As an official demonstration farm for organic farming, we are happy to introduce groups and school classes to the work on our farm.
