Friends of our red angus genetic can´t believe it! Two Black Aberdeen Angus calves are born the 22th and 25th of August at Christelhoi-Angus. “Black Iron Ore” and “Pepp” a male and a female calve from the red Australian AI Sire “Paringa Iron Ore” bring new influence in our angus breeding.
This afternoon, the first calve of the new season was born. The Aberdeen Angus heifer Tessa, a daughter of the canadian sire Traction, has given birth to her first calve by the Australian sire Iron Ore. Due to the genetically shorter gestation period, it was born 8 days before the due date.
The calve ways 28kg (61.7lbs) and is – as you can see – in great shape!
Of the four Angus bulls that were presented in the category of Tested Sires, the Danish Boelling Roed Fabel, prepared by Jörg Fahrenholz and presented by Kurt Clausen, won 1st place. Roed Fable is a Red Aberdeen Angus, son of the Canadian sire Thump 2T and out of a daughter of Red U-2 Infinite 408P.
Jury member Friedrich Averbeck particularly praised the good transition from the strong shoulder to the long and wide back and the pronounced hind quarter. His sound and well defined structure completes the picture of an impressive, harmonious sire.
Roed Fabal has been working on Kurt Clausen’s farm since May 2011. At the moment, Roed Fabel is working on the farm of Jörg Fahrenholz, who acquired a 50% share of the bull in February 2014.
