We are now all safe at home from a lovely national show. This year national show was characterized by the very changeable weather, with large rain showers and wind much of the time, but also a little summer weather.
As publish, we participated with three catalog numbers, which all did well.
First animal in the arena on Thursday morning was Bloksdal UltraBelle (Glasgow x Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET). She won her group, got 23 points and words of praise along the way from judge Theo Chezeau from France. The next animal was Bloksdal Unika (Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. x Bloksdal Opal). She also won her group, also got very good characteristics and 23 points. Last animal was Bloksdal Special Lady (Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. x Bloksdal MiLady) with her calf. In a rarely seen group of good young cows, she was third. But also with 23 points and with access to the honorary prize competition.
In this there were a total of 25 animals, with the last eight receiving honorary prizes. Here, Bloksdal UltraBelle and Bloksdal Special Lady finished outside the rankings, while Bloksdal Unika went almost all the way to the top, only surpassed by the later interbreed winner from Neergaard Charolais. She can therefore adorn herself with the title of Denmark’s best Charolais heifer and qualification for the magical 24 points. It is the third year in a row that we are at the forefront of this title. Last year we got second best heifer, while in 2022 we also won the predicate best Charolais heifer of the show.
We at Bloksdal Charolais would like to thank you for a few good days with friends, colleagues and family. Congratulations to everyone on their prizes and placement. Special thanks to VikingDanmark, which has donated our honorary prize.
