Waters are Calm Among High Ranking Ayrshires
As the highest LPI sires and cows see little change this round, highlights focus on the newest arrivals. For newly proven young sires, it is Des Coteaux Michigan-ET (Volvo x Oblique) that achieves the highest standing at #17 LPI while Laroc Equinox (Mordicus x Oblique) also has an interesting debut at #30 LPI. Both newcomers are among the first group of sons of their respective sires that become proven this round. R Facet (Jerry x Vattergard) also receives his first official progeny proof in Canada and takes #23 LPI spot. Among the breed leaders, Orraryd sees little change and maintains #1 LPI ranking (#4 Milk, #1 Fat, #1 Protein), while Des Fleurs Patriote-ET takes #2 LPI (#3 Milk, tied #2 Fat, #2 Protein), moving ahead of Peterslund now at #3 LPI (tied #4 Fat, #4 Protein) even though his LPI is exactly the same as last round. Five other previous Top 10 LPI sires also experience little change, namely Kamouraska Radar-ET (#4), T-Bruno (#5), Roi TennisonET (#6 LPI, tied #4 Fat, #5 Protein), Kellcrest Riesling (#7) and Kamouraska Decaf-ET at #9 LPI. Managing to enter this elite list this round are Kamouraska Rockstar at #8 LPI (maternal brother to Radar and Decaf) and Chaluka Virgile-ET, climbing to #10 LPI from #14 spot.
For the highest ranking Ayrshire cows, the list is still headed by Kamouraska Orra Xuby (#1 GLPI, #5 Milk, tied #1 Fat, #1 Protein) while her dam, Kamouraska Peterslund Ruby, is now tied at #9 GLPI. Also staying solid is Visserdale Selena 8 ET (Orraryd x Rockstar), as she holds on at #2 GLPI (#4 Milk, tied #1 Fat, #2 Protein), but is now followed by her full sister, Visserdale Selena 7 ET, at #3 GLPI (#3 Fat, #4 Protein). Also staying among the top ten rankings this round are Des Fleurs Orraryd Pardon-ET (#4 GLPI, #2 Milk, tied #5 Protein), Kamouraska Orrad Youdez (#5 GLPI, #3 Milk, #3 Protein), Duo Star Armada-ET (#6 GLPI) and Margot Charade, now tied at #9 GLPI. The Top 10 GLPI list is completed by Des Erables Patriote Isis (Patriote x Oblique), who catapults from #24 position to land tied at #6 GLPI, and Des Fleurs Rockstar Parellie-ET (daughter of Des Fleurs Orraryd Pardon-ET) at #8 GLPI. Three newly indexed cows just miss out of the Top 10 GLPI list, including Des Coteaux Revolt-ET (#12 GLPI, Orraryd daughter of Kamouraska Poker Rubis-ET), La Sapiniere Facybig (#14 GLPI, Bigstar x Poker) and Kamouraska Clooney-ET at #15 GLPI (R Facet daughter out of Xuby). Also noteworthy is the arrival of Kamouraska Pat Beyoncé-ET (maternal sister to Youdez by Patriote), who is newly indexed this round and becomes the new #1 for Milk (#29 GLPI).
