Fantastic show for Bloksdal Charolais
As proclaimed, we participated this year with four catalog numbers and the first animal in the arena on Friday was Bloksdal Taurus (Neptune JC x Bloksdal Jelena). He won his group, young bulls 12-15 months, He was the youngest, but with the same weight (672 kg) as the oldest.
The next animal was Bloksdal Tur Beau (Neptune JC x Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET) in the young bull group 15-18 months. He was third in this. He was also the youngest and has been walking in the field by the cows. He weighed 724 kg.
After that it was Bloksdal Special Lady (Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. x Bloksdal Milady). She won the heifer group 28-32 months with an impressive weight of 921 kg.
In conclusion, it was Bloksdal Opal (Cristal-DK x Bloksdal Hæmatit) and her calf Bloksdal Unika by Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. turn to get into the arena. They were in the “cows over four years with calf”. It was a large and strong group, i.a. with the interbreed winner from the National Show this summer, but Opal, who weighed 1181 kg at the show, manages to win the group together with her calf, which weighed 286 kg.
Our three winners participated in the honorary prize competition. Here there were 16 animals and 10 honorary prizes to fight for. Here it went absolutely fantastic and all three animals managed to get an honorary prize and even make it into the top six.
Judge Jean-Marc Touillon awarded Bloksdal Special Lady the title of second best individual in the show and thereby also best female animal.
Bloksdal Opal and Bloksdal Unika got second best cow and received honorary prize number five.
Bloksdal Taurus was the second best young bull and received honorary prize number six. He is by the way for sale.
On Saturday, Bloksdal Special Lady was to represent Charolais at the interbreed competition.
There were 13 animals in the arena for the competition and she was judged to be among the three best. She unfortunately did not win, as she was overtaken by a Grauvieh cow with calf, but we are very proud of the shared second place, i.a. because Special Lady is of own breeding, on both the mother’s and father’s side.
Finally, we would like to thank TM enterprice, Denmark’s Charolais Association and Nordea for the honorary prizes, as well as say thank you to everyone who helped make the days at this year’s Kimbrerskue some good days, we at Bloksdal Charolais have at least enjoyed all the days in Aars. A special thank you to the people who helped us during this year’s show. We would like to congratulate everyone on their prizes and placings.

We have had a visit from our regular hoof trimmer. The animals for the upcoming Kimbrerskuet on 6-7 October 23 in Aars, everyone got a turn in the box and is now completely ready for the show.
Thank you for always good service and treatment at Fjellerad Hoof trimming by Palle Christiansen.

Yesterday was the last registration for this year’s Kimbrerskuet, which will be held on 6-7. October in Messecenter Vesthimmerland in Aars.

True to tradition, we exhibit at this show, where there is usually a large Charolais following with high quality animals.

This year we are exhibiting five animals (four catalog numbers). Two of the animals are regulars from this summer’s animal shows, but we also plan to exhibit one debutant and one that was last exhibited in 2019.

We are looking forward to some good days with friends and colleagues for the last animal show of the year.

We got a really exciting calf on Sunday 13 August 23.

The calf is by our best cow Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET (Vaillant x Anabelle) and the top French bull Glasgow (Apache x Dentelle). The calf, which is a heifer calf, is therefore a full sister to Bloksdal Rosabelle, who was recently voted second best heifer at the recently held National Show.

We are therefore very happy and excited to follow her development.

Mirabelle herself gave birth to the 54 kg calf on the field without any problems and was subsequently taken to the barn.

The calf will be called UltraBelle, which in French means “very beautiful” and will be numbered 424.

Yesterday we had a little over 100 guests visiting for a nice get-together and talk about beef cattle. We showed off our farm and herd and told about our daily life with the animals. We had a lovely evening where we could tell a little about our family and passion for Charolais and hopefully pass on some inspiration to the many present. While some saw and talked about beef cattle, others were on a garden walk at Skovhuset Skråvej in Ferslev.

The organizers were the Beef Cattle Association Himmerland, while the food came from Madgården Arden and DLG sponsored beer/water.

Thanks to all sponsors, organizers and participants for a pleasant evening.

For the second year in a row, we were at the forefront of the competition to be awarded Denmark’s best heifer at the National Show, where last year we won with Bloksdal Piña Colada (Bloksdal Linux -ET V.B. x Bloksdal Liqueur) and came third with Bloksdal Special Lady ( Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. x Bloksdal MiLady). This year we came second in this competition and fifth overall overall with our heifer Bloksdal Rosabelle (Glasgow x Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET), which earned an honorary prize from Denmark’s Charolais Association.
This was honorary prize number seven at the National Show within the last six shows held, with seven different animals and different family lines, which we are very proud of and indicates that our breeding work is going very well.

The seven beasts are as follows:
Bloksdal Rosabelle (Glasgow x Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET) in 2023
Bloksdal Piña Colada (Bloksdal Linux -ET V.B. x Bloksdal Liqueur) in 2022
Bloksdal Special lady (Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. x Bloksdal MiLady) in 2022

We have now returned safe and sound from another successful National Show – the Animal Show in Herning.

On Thursday, the animals were judged individually and here the first animal in the court for us was Bloksdal Tur beau (Neptune JC x Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET). Tur beau was the youngest in the section , but still got second place with 22 points.

The next animal was Torndao P Hvirring (Indou PP x Polka Hvirring P). He finished second in the group and might have won if his movement on the day had not deteriorated. He therefore had to settle for 21 points.

Wow it was the heifers’ turn and the first animal here was Bloksdal Special Lady (Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. x Bloksdal MiLady). She won her section with 23 points and later went to the honorable mention competition.

Finally, it was Bloksdal Rosabelle’s (Glasgow x Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET) turn to enter the court. She was in a large group with many good heifers. She was awarded second place with 23 points and was also to participate in the honorable mention competition.

This was held later the same day and with the participation of 18 animals, which had to fight for 10 honorary prizes. Bloksdal Rosabelle was placed in a nice fifth place out of all the Charolais animals and as second best heifer at the National Show.

On Friday we took part in the herd competition, where we got an overall fourth place.

Finally, we would like to thank everyone who helped make the days at the Landsskuet some good days, we from Bloksdal Charolais have at least enjoyed all the days in Herning. We would like to congratulate everyone on their prizes and placings.
