This weekend we should have been to the local show in Hjørring again. This is like so much else canceled this summer, due to the corona pandemic. It is the first time since we started exhibiting at the show in Hjørring, that we miss the show two years in a row. Last year we did a look back at 2019, where Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET (Vaillant x Anabelle) became the best Charolais animal at the show. This year we have therefore chosen to look even further back. Our former bull Vanggaard Daddy -ET (Valseur x Bloksdal Butterfly -ET) won in 2013 the award best male across all animals at the show (interbreed winner) and was on radio ANR. The following year in 2014, he became the show’s best Charolais bull. Daddy was an incredibly good Charolais bull with a good temperament. Which he also proved in 2015, when he was live on the local Tv stations studio, TV2 Nord

Watch or rewatch the 2015 broadcast.

We have sold Bloksdal Rubin (Lorsini x Bloksdal Opal) to Jan Stistrup from Hobro. Jan wanted a calm bull calf, which gives light calving and has a high index for milk production. Rubin fulfills to the fullest these desires – in fact, Rubin’s index of both milk and birth is 116. We hope that Rubin and Jan will be a good match, wish good luck and say thank you for the deal. We still have several really promising young bulls for sale as well as females of different ages. If interested, check the tab “animals for sale”, and feel free to contact us online or by telephone (+4551714574).

We have now got almost all the animals out. We currently only have six ready-to-sell bull calves at home as well as this heifer which will soon have a calf.
The heifer in the video is Bloksdal Olympia (365). She is after Bloksdal Linux -ET V.B. and Bloksdal Champion and expecting a calf after Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B.

Today we have another bull calf, which has performed a nice 200 days weight.
This time it is Bloksdal Rambo. He was born 200 days ago today, and this morning he weight 368 kg. This gives him an average daily gain of 1555 grams.
The average weight of 200 days for Charolais bull calves in Denmark is 343 kg. Rambo is after the French bull Cristal from GAEC Merlet. On the mother side, he is after Bloksdal Jelana, who is a large breed-typical cow with many qualities. Jelana’s father is Utrillo-BP, he is also French and from SCEA Raymond.
Bloksdal Rambo is for sale.

Bloksdal Ronaldo P turns 200 today and he celebrates this with a really nice weight. He weighed 412 kg this morning, which means he has gained an average of 1,785 kg per. day since he was born.
Ronaldo is polled and after the French bull Japon SC (Gaec Giraud). On the mother side he is after Bloksdal Miva. Miva is a tall and long cow with amazing indexes. Indexes that means that she is designated by the Danish Charolais Association as a potential bull mother.

Kr. Ascension Day is drawing to an end and today we have got more animals out on the grass. Three cows and three calves have come down into the meadow, to the animals we shut out about ten days ago.
In addition, three cows and one calf have come out on another piece of meadow.

As expected and understandable, this year’s national show in Herning has also been canceled.
Like last year, it has been canceled due to the ongoing pandemic (COVID-19).
Unlike last year and luckily there is now more light at the end of the tunnel. We can look forward to everyone who wants it, can be vaccinated and society can hopefully open up all over again as soon as possible.
The last opportunity for an animal show in 2021 will for us now be the Kimbrerskuet in Aars in October.

Today, on the first day of May, we locked the the first animals out in the meadow. We have taken three cows together with our stock bull Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. out. In recent years we have taken the first animals out at the end of April, but this year a little later due to the cold weather. Depending on the weather, in the coming weeks we will put more animals out in the meadows around Ferslev. The plan is that this summer there will only be sales items, bull calves and show animals at home on the farm.

Next weekend we plan to let the first animals out in the meadow together with our stock bull Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. (Vaillant x Anabelle). However, this winter we have inseminated the majority of the herd. We have 10 animals found pregnant and this after just 12 inseminations. We have used eight different insemination bulls: Lorsini, Gustav, Utrillomic, Major, Uvejr Av Strömsnäs, Japon (Pp), Cristal-DK and Heracles. We are looking forward to the autumn, when the first calves will see the daylight.

Bloksdal Roman (391) has 1 year birthday today and is after Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. x Bloksdal MiLady.
Roman’s birth weight was 57 kg and his 200 dgs weight was 341 kg, while his weight today is as much as 681 kg (73 kg more than the average in Denmark).
Roman’s father, Matador, is the son of show winners in France (Vaillant x Anabelle), while his mother, Bloksdal MiLady, is after Bloksdal Juvel x Bloksdal Unak.
Juvel was a huge bull that we have bred ourselves and which was positive for birth and milk. Both Pekoline, Diamant, Unak and MiLady have won honorary prize at the National Show in Herning. MiLady is registered as designated by the Danish Charolais Association as a potential bull mother due to good indices. The other day she got a good heifer calf of the same pedigree as Roman.
Roman is a bull with good perspectives, he is long and tall, has a lot of race character and has a uniquely good temperament. He has an S-index of 114 and positive for growth, production and calving.
If you need a bull to your cows or to bring to shows, Bloksdal Roman is your new stock Bull.
