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.

We have had a visit from our regular hoof pruner, Fjellerad Klovbeskæring by Palle Christiansen. We have treated 10 females and two males. The animals are now ready to be herded on grass in about a month.

Easter started with the fact that we today (Thursday 2 April 2021 ed.) got a new calf. It is Bloksdal MiLady (Bloksdal Juvel x Bloksdal Unak -ET), who has given birth to a calf. She got a heifer calf after our current stockbull Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. (Vaillant x Anabelle). The calf was an incredibly fresh heifer calf of 55 kg, which will be called Special Lady and get no. 403. In 2018, MiLady became the second best Charolais heifer at the National Show in Herning. It is her third calf and a calf that we are very excited about. MiLady has also been appointed as a bull mother by the Danish Charolais Association and we have a very promising full brother of about 1 year going on sale.

The world’s best wife and mother round a sharp corner today. She is turning 60 years old, even though it is not visible and you probably do not quite want it to be. Just REMEMBER Helle that age is just a number and only matters if you are a Charolais who is going to show. THANK YOU so much for you and for making everything possible.

We recently received this video along with the following text. “Piris is still sweet and very easy – I’m still so happy for her”. Written by Agnethe Rasmussen at the age of 16 who bought Bloksdal Piris (Bloksdal Linux -ET x Iris de Bat) this summer. If you need a new calm bull, a heifer or a cow with a good temperament and good indices, we currently have more for sale. Check under the tab “animals for sale” or call tel. 004598389320 – 00451714574.

We have today received an email regarding the Danish National Show – in Herning. Despite the ongoing Corona pandemic, the national show is still working on the plans to hold this year’s show. The deadline for registration for beef cattle and camping will be between the beginning of April and the 24th of May and the 27th of May 2021. We will now go into considerations and take a small squad out that will be trained and fed a little extra, while we cross our fingers for us can come to the animal show again on July 1-3 in Herning.
