A good story has a beginning, a middle and an end. Today we had to accept the end and say goodbye to Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B (Vaillant x Anabelle). He has been sold to Ulla and Kristian Pedersen in Mørke in Djursland.

The story started in France in 2016, where we purchased four embryos of Elevage Sallé charolais from @pierreyvessalle. Here we got Mirabelle and Matador.

He is born on 29/11/2016 and has been with us since. He has, among other things, participated in several shows. In 2018, he received an honorary prize and became the second best younger Charolais bull and winner of his group at Kimbrerskuet.

He has worked as a breeding bull with us in recent years and has therefore not been exhibited that much himself. In return, his genes have manifested themselves several times at shows. He is father of Bloksdal Special Lady, which we exhibited with great success last season, where she excluded obtained 24p at the shows she participated in.

In addition to his obvious genetic characteristics, his temperament is completely unique and, as the video shows, it is a very special bull that we have today said goodbye to and written the last chapter around. Fortunately, we continued have his full sister Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET. We hope that Matador and Ulla and Kristian Pedersen will be a good match, wish them luck and say thank you for the deal.

We have closed the first animals on grass in the meadow. Five cows that had all had bull calves in the autumn, which is why their calf has now been weaned.

Despite the fact that Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. (Vaillant x Anabelle) is no longer a stock bull with us, we fortunately benefit from his genes. He has thus become the father of a fresh bull calf weighing 48 kg. The mother is Bloksdal MiLady (Vanggaard Daddy -ET x Bloksdal Unak -ET). This combination is, among other things, parents of Bloksdal Roman and Bloksdal Special Lady, which we have previously exhibited with in shows with great success. The calf will be numbered 423 and will be called Bloksdal Uman.

We had hat a visit from our regular hoof pruner, Fjellerad Hog Pruner by Palle Christiansen. We have had all our cows pruned as well as our stock bull. Now we are soon ready to let the animals out in to the meadowsHoof trimming

Calf number 422 has now been born here at the farm. Bloksdal Opal (Cristal-DK x Bloksdal Hæmatit) has had a calf. She herself gave birth to the 55 kg heifer calf. The calf is by our stockbull Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. (Vaillant x Anabelle).

We are waiting for the last calves and for the weather to allow some field work. In the meantime, we have had the last females examined for pregnancy.

We can therefore inform you that we expect calves from the following bulls this autumn;

• Major (Berlioz x Charmille)
• Glasgow (Apache x Dentelle)
• Heracles (Royal Excellent x Demoiselle)
• Utrillo-BP (Major x Fatcha)
• Nobel PP (Indou PP x Jamba)
• Gustav (Akron av Backgården x B.Eria av Skalltorp)
• Lorsini (Agronomist x Instance)
• Sapristi (Laurel x Nature)
• Bloksdal Matador (Vaillant x Anabelle)

Our new bull Tornado P after the French polled bull Indou PP (Cabar P x Faustine) and Polka Hvirring P (Chic x Katrine Hvirring P), which we bought from Hvirring Charolais from Jette and Bjarne Pagh in December, has today delivered a fantastic 365 day’s weight.

Today he was weighed on a bridge scale, which said an impressive 740 kg. Which is corrected to an annual weight of 708 kg. He weighed 59 kg at birth, which means he has gained 1778 grams per year. day since he was born.

The Danish Charolais breed average for bulls at 365 days is 595 kg, while the average for daily gain is 1490 grams.

We are very excited to follow his continued development, and are still very happy with him and his good temperament.

Bloksdal Smarties (410) was born on 25/10/2021 and is by Cristal-DK (Romeo x Tulipe) and Bloksdal Jelana (Utrillo-BP x Bloksdal Elana -ET). If you need a heifer with an exciting with French pedigree and a good temperament, then here is a really good offer. You can see pictures of her on Facebook and Instagram.

Today Bloksdal Silvia (Japon SC x Bloksdal Miva) has left us. She has been driven to Southern Jutland, where her new owner is Rene Andersen.

Silvia is a heifer with a suitable size and fleshing but not least a good temperament. She is a full sister to Bloksdal Ronaldo P (395) who at the Kimbrerskuet in 2021, was shown fifth best animal and was awarded the show’s best younger bull. Lineage has therefore proven itself in the past and we look forward to following her development.

We hope that Silvia and Rene will be a good match, wish them luck and say thank you for the deal.

This week we had a visit from Kamilla and Mads from Nordjyllands Landbrugsskole, Lundbæk, who wanted to learn a bit about Charolais.
They are going to a big show in Paris in March, where they will compete against other students from agricultural schools in judging Holsteins and Charolais. We hope they had a good experience and hopefully could help them to do well. In any case, we wish them the best of luck.
