True to tradition, we have been to the local show in Hjørring.
We exhibited with three animals this year and they all did well. There were 29 Charolais animals registered for the show.
First animal in the arena on Friday morning was Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET (Vaillant x Anabelle). She was in a group with two other big and good cows, which were also highly praised by judge Mads Bjerregaard. Mirabelle was placed in second place and all cows in the group got 23 points, and later had to participate in the honor prize competition.
Our next animal was Bloksdal Unika (Bloksdal Matador -ET x Bloksdal Opal). Unika was unfortunately alone in her group, but still got a lot of recognition, therefore also got 23 points and therefore also had to later participate in the honorary prize competition.
The last animal was Bloksdal UltraBelle (Glasgow x Bloksdal Mirabelle -ET). She won her group with 23 points and should therefore also have been to the prize competition, but due to the rule in Hjørring about “only” one prize per herd, she was asked not to participate due to logical and space problems, which we think is a shame!
Mirabelle was not placed in the prize competition, while Unika came in overall 4th place and at the same time was second best heifer, which resulted in an honorary prize donated by the beef cattle committee in LandboNord.
We would like to say thank you for a few good days in Hjørring and are now excitedly looking forward to the National Show in Herning on 4-6 July 24.
