In recent times we have had quite a few new calves, and on Monday another one arrived, the last of the year. This time it was Bloksdal Sallé Star (Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. x Bloksdal Olympia) that had a calf. Sallé Star is a medium-sized cow but with a good breed character and an exciting pedigree, with for example Bloksdal Linux -ET V.B (Bourgogne x Une Fleur) as grandsire. Both Linux and Matador are embryo purchases from Elevage Sallé charolais and both have proven their worth by breeding several winners for us.

Sallé Star herself gave birth to the 32 kg heifer calf easily and without help. The calf is by Sapristi (Laurel x Nature) and will be called Unique Star and got number 431.

If you are missing a young cow with a heifer calf next to it, is it possible to buy this two.

Last week we got another new calf. This time it was Piña Colada (Bloksdal Linux -ET V.B. x Bloksdal Liqueur) that had a calf. Piña Colada is a young cow from 2019 that has already experienced a lot. Last time she had twins, Thor and Tuborg, which she looked after beautifully herself and back in 2022 she became best heifer at the National Show in Herning.

This time she has had a single calf by the famous Major (Berlioz x Charmille). She gave birth to the calf, a bull calf weighing 52 kg. Kristina has decided that it should be called Bloksdal Underberg V.B. (430)

We have today delivered Bloksdal Tarzan P (Iceberg PP x Bloksdal Miva) to his new owner Christian Hoeck in Southern Denmark.

Miva has previously bred good polled bull calves, for example Bloksdal Ronaldo P (by Japon Sc), who won the title of best young bull at the Kimbrerskuet in 2021.

Tarzan is after a homozygous polled bull from France, named Iceberg PP. He should breed a good temperament and some easy calvings. The temperament is fine, so we hope that Christian and Tarzan will be a good match, wish them luck and say thank you for the deal. We still have few breeding animals left for sale. If you are interested, check the “animals for sale” tab or call (+45)51714574.

We have sold Bloksdal Tuborg P V.B. (Gustav av Skalltorp x Bloksdal Piña Colada). He has been sold to Hans Thomsen, Læsø.
Tuborg is a very calm polled bull with an exciting future. His father has produced some easy-born and fast-growing calves, while his mother has a lot of French blood in her veins and among other things. has won the predicate Denmark’s best heifer in 2021.
We hope that Hans and Tuborg will be a good match, wish them luck and say thank you for the deal.

The sudden onset of cold weather in Denmark has naturally meant that we have had to take all the animals inside.. This is approximately one month earlier than we have done in recent years. Fortunately, we should have enough feed and bedding for the spring.

Last Saturday we finally got a heifer calf after the last four have been bull calves.
It was Bloksdal Jelana (Utrillo-BP x Bloksdal Elana -ET) who easily gave birth to her calf number eight all by herself.
The calf is by Heracles (Royal Excelent x Demoiselle). It weighed 48 kg at birth, will be numbered 429 and will be called Bloksdal Ulana.

Friday we got the third polled bull calf in a row. Bloksdal Miva (Bloksdal Juvel x Bloksdal Diva) has now also had three polled bull calves. She gave birth to the third on this Friday. The previous two have both been sold on for breeding. This polled calf is by Nobel PP (Indou PP x Jamba). The calving of the 52 kg calf was very quick and easy, so we could watch Denmark’s national football team qualify for the European Championships in Germany 24. This tournament is organized by UEFA and we therefore think it was natural that it also became the calf’s name . Bloksdal Uefa P gets number 428.

Denmark’s Charolais Association has today held Charolais Day on our farm. There were around 30 registered, so it’s great that people want to support and participate in such an event. The day started with breakfast at 10, after which we told and showed off our herd. At the end, there were sandwiches and a report from the association.

We at Bloksdal Charolais would like to thank everyone for a lovely day, we enjoy having visitors with the same interest and passion for the beautiful white animals.

We have another new calf. This time it was the oldest of the herd, Iris de Bat, which Kristina bought many years ago from Carsten Kjærgaard.

Iris de Bat (Ecrin de Bat x Celeste de Bat) is almost 11 years old and had her ninth calf on Friday. This calf is by Uvejr Av Strömsnäs (J Ecuter X Orkan Av Tostarp -ET) and weighed 58 kg at birth. It will be numbered 427 and will be called Bloksdal Uvejr P V.B.

Remember the latest registration for Charolais day at Bloksdal Charolais is 15/11-23 to jtc@vikingdanmark.dk or +45 30502125.
