Show farm

If you visit our show farm at the Alpenzoo you will discover that the Alps are not only home to a wide variety of wild animals but too many breeds of farm animals as well. Farming in the Alps used to be very hard work. Farm animals were bred to meet the specific requirements of small-scale farming in the various regions of the Alps – thus the wide diversity of species. These old breeds are not only an important part of our farming heritage they are also an invaluable addition to modern farming.
