We have a new calf. Our cow, Bloksdal Opal (Cristal-DK x Bloksdal Hæmatit), who at the Kimbrerskuet 2023 got 23p, won her group and became the show’s fifth best Charolais animal, has given birth to a heifer calf. It was behind her when we came down to the meadow to bring her home. Opal is the mother of Bloksdal Unika, who is by Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. (Vaillant x Anabelle), and which at the just concluded Landsskue 24 won the predicate Denmark’s best Charolais heifer and second best Charolais animal. We therefore think it is a very exciting calf we have received.
The sire of the calf is Bloksdal TurBeau (Neptune JC x Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET). The calf weighed 50 kg, got no. 434 and will be called Bloksdal Violet Flame Opal.
