Overview
- The roughly 1.5‑year‑old animal fled a pasture about six months ago after a panic incident near Seehamer See in Bavaria.
- Owners and police tried repeatedly to retrieve it from the reed belt, but attempts to corral or lure it with feed failed.
- After a regular walker warned of dwindling forage, Gut Aiderbichl coordinated with authorities to plan a humane capture.
- Rescuers located the cow by drone on 28 November and, under veterinary oversight, calmed it with a tranquilizer dart for removal and transport.
- Now at the Iffeldorf sanctuary and newly named Arielle, the cow is healthy, shy after months without humans, and under special supervision.
