Bloksdal Silvia (408) sold

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.

Visit from the School of Agriculture

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.

First calf of the year

Today we got the first calf of the year. It was Bloksdal Rolana (Lorsini x Bloksdal Olana) who became a mother for the first time.

The calf’s father is the Angus bull Thy Lasse.

Bloksdal Rolana herself gave birth, without any problems, to the 42 kg and very fresh bull calf.

This combination between Charolais and Angus has been created at the request of Viking Genetics – so maybe sometime in the future Bloksdal Undercover P (421) will become a breeding/insemination bull with them.

We have bought a new bull

He is bought at Hvirring Charolais from Jette and Bjarne Pagh. The bull, named Tornado P, is after the French polled bull Indou PP (Cabar P x Faustine) and Polka Hvirring P (Chic x Katrine Hvirring P). He was born on 6 March 2022 and today weighs an impressive 570 kg. It is a polled bull that we think is very exciting and with a great temperament.

Pedigree score

Today we had a visit from progeny inspector Torben Andersen from Seges, where we were awarded five cows.

They were all rated between 84 and 88 overall, which we are very pleased with. The best cow this time was our 2-calf cow Bloksdal Opal (Cristal-DK x Bloksdal Hæmatit).

All our adult animals in the herd have now been awarded again and the average is 86.0 (the national average is 80.0). Our three best rated are, in addition to Bloksdal Opal, our current bull Bloksdal Matador -ET V.B. and his full sister Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET which are both by Vaillant x Anabelle and bought as embryos from Elevage Sallé charolais

Another polled bull calf

Bloksdal Miva (Bloksdal Juvel x Bloksdal Diva) gota polled bull calf today.

Miva also had a polled bull calf Bloksdal Ronaldo P (Japon Sc) in 2019, which won the title, best young bull, at the show in Aars (Kimbrerskuet 2021). This calving went just like the previous four calvings, so that Miva gave birth to the calf herself without help. Miva has also been appointed by Denmark’s Charolais Association as a potential bull mother and this time has a calf by Iceberg PP (Forgeot P x Flamme P).

The calf weighed 58 kg at birth, will be number 420 and will be named Bloksdal Tarzan P.

Denmark’s best Charolais heifer has become a cow

At The National Show this summer, the French judge David Riviere awarded Bloksdal Piña Colada (Bloksdal Linux -ET V.B. x Bloksdal Liqueur) the title “best Charolais heifer”.

This she is no longer, as she has now calved for the first time and has thereby become a cow. She has become the mother of not just one fresh polled bull calf, but actually two of her kind. She gave birth to the first calf herself without any problems, but got a little help when we discovered there were twins.

The calf’s father is the polled bull Gustav av Skalltorp. The calves weighed respectively 38 and 42 kg at birth and must be called Bloksdal Thor P V.B. (418) and Bloksdal Tuborg P V.B. (419).

Active Charolais breeding herd

This week we have once again passed and received a certificate that we are a breeding herd.

We were involved from the start in 2000, so this is the 23rd time we have received this certificate, which we at Bloksdal Charolais are very proud of.

Another sale

At the weekend we sold and delivered another animal for further breeding.
This time it was Bloksdal Pippi V.B.’s (Bloksdal Linux -ET V.B. x Bloksdal Holly V.B.) calf from 13 October after VB Gustav. The calf is polled and is called Bloksdal Svend P V.B.
He has been sold to Skårhøjgård Aps from Gistrup. We hope that Svend and Walther Skårhøj will be a good match, wish them luck and say thank you for the deal.
