Two Newly Proven Sires Welcomed Among Top 10 LPI in Ayrshires
Des Fleurs Patriote-ET, son of Des Fleurs Poker Partenaire-ET, makes headlines this round
as the highest newly proven sire at #3 LPI (#5 Milk, tied #5 Fat, #4 Protein), following his
sire, Orraryd, at #1 LPI (#4 Milk, #1 Fat, #1 Protein) and Peterslund at #2 LPI (#3 Fat, #3
Protein). Kamouraska Radar-ET also has an impressive arrival with his first official proof,
taking #7 LPI. This son of Pokerstars is out of a former LPI leader, Kamouraska Peterslund
Ruby, and is therefore a maternal brother to proven sires Decaf, Rockstar and Volvo. Radar
follows three sires that remain very stable, namely T-Bruno, Cock Rond Big Brother (tied #5
Fat) and Kellcrest Riesling, who now take #4, #5 and #6 LPI respectively. The Top 10 LPI
list is completed by Roi Tennison-ET (#8 LPI, #4 Fat, #5 Protein), Duo Star Armani-ET (#9
LPI, #2 Milk) and Kamouraska Decaf-ET at #10 LPI.
For Ayrshire cows, a pair of full sisters who are Orraryd daughters of Visserdale Selena 3 by
Rockstar, attract attention this round as Visserdale Selena 8 ET infiltrates the Top GLPI list
in #2 position and leads the breed at #1 Fat (#2 Protein) while Visserdale Selena 7 ET grabs
#6 GLPI position (tied #4 Fat, #4 Protein). Staying firm as breed leader at #1 GLPI is
Kamouraska Orra Xuby, who is a maternal sister to newly proven Radar and daughter of
Kamouraska Peterslund Ruby, at #8 GLPI (#2 Fat, #1 Protein). Also staying solid at #3 GLPI
is Des Fleurs Orraryd Pardon-ET (#3 Milk, tied #4 Fat), who is a full sister to the highest
newly proven sire, Patriote. Kamouraska Orrad Youdez takes #4 GLPI this round (#5 Milk,
#3 Protein), ahead of Duo Star Armada-ET in #5 GLPI position and Des Coteaux Rockstar
Alexandri at #7 GLPI (tied #4 Fat). The Top 10 GLPI list is rounded off by the daughter-dam
pair of Margot Chocolate-ET (#9) and Margot Charade at #10 GLPI.
Top 10 Leaders Stay Strong in Jerseys
This August release represents a high level of stability among the breed leaders for both LPI
and Pro$. For sires, the top five remain the same group for LPI while for Pro$ the highest
seven bulls remain the same as last round. Hawarden Implus Premier takes #1 LPI (#2
Pro$, tied #8 Conformation) by surpassing the former leader, Sunset Canyon Dignitary-ET,
now #2 LPI but stays strong at #1 Pro$ (#5 Fat). Also solid are ERTL Mantra, who maintains
#3 ranking for both LPI and Pro$ (#10 Milk), and Heartland Merchant Topeka, still at #4 LPI
(#12 Pro$, #6 Fat) but is now tied with River Valley Salinas Siren-ET (#4 LPI, #20 Pro$, #10
Fat, #7 Protein). In addition to Premier, Dignitary and Mantra, two other sires manage to
achieve Top 10 status for both LPI and Pro$, namely BW Fastrack-ET at #6 LPI and #9 Pro$
(tied #8 Protein), as well as All Lynns Valentino Irwin-ET at #8 LPI and #4 Pro$. The Top 10
LPI list is completed by BW Renegade-ET at #7 (#24 Pro$, #7 Fat), Guimo Joel-ET at #9
(#26 Pro$, #2 Conformation) and Richies Jace TBone A364 at #10 (#38 Pro$). In addition to

(#30 LPI, #1 Milk), All Lynns Louie Valentino-ET still at #6 (#26 LPI, #6 Milk), Sunset Canyon
Dazzler-ET at #7 (#13 LPI) and ZJ Zuma at #8 Pro$ (#14 LPI).
This round also features the arrival of six newly proven sires that reach Top 25 status for LPI
or Pro$. The highest newcomer for both national indexes is Wilsonview IF Matt at #10 Pro$
and #12 LPI, who is the first son of Irwin proven in Canada. Jars of Clay Barnabas (Topeka
x Valentino) follows immediately at #11 Pro$ and occupies #23 LPI. Rowleys 11 Visionary
Chili-ET is highest of the first two Visionary sons proven in Canada with his debut at #15
Pro$ and #18 LPI while also becoming the new #1 sire for Protein. Ahlem Consideration
(Dominican x Legal) achieves proven status and lands at #17 LPI and #32 Pro$. Two other
newcomers arrive among the Top 25 Pro$, namely Buttercrest Galvanize (Valentino x
Jevon) at #23 (#29 LPI) and All Lynns Hendrix Nitro (Hendrix x TBone) at #25 Pro$ (#50
LPI, #3 Protein, #7 Milk).
For Jersey cows, nine of the previous Top 10 GLPI achieve this same elite status this round
and the same is true for seven of the previous Top 10 for Pro$. Guimo Premier Joany ET
continues as #1 for both GLPI and Pro$ as well as sharing #1 Conformation. Joany is
followed on both lists by her sisters as Guimo Dynamic Joyce ET holds on to #2 GLPI (#7
Pro$), Guimo Zuma Julia ET stays solid at #2 Pro$ (#6 GLPI) and Guimo Premier Jade ET
grabs #3 Pro$ (#5 GLPI, tied #1 Conformation). Three Vivaldi daughters maintain their
status among Top 10 GLPI cows this round, including Guimo Vivaldi Lysanne at #3 GLPI (#9
Pro$), Summum Vivaldi Ira at #4 GLPI (#4 Pro$, tied #8 Fat) and Gillard Vivaldi Viva at #7
GLPI (#49 Pro$, tied #10 Fat). The Top 10 GLPI list is completed by Lencrest Premier Coco
ET at #8 (#53 Pro$), Bona Dimension Rickiki ET at #9 (tied #5 Pro$) and FDL Premier Belle
at #10 GLPI (#13 Pro$). Outside of cows already mentioned, the top Pro$ list includes two
more Joany sisters, namely Guimo Spectacular Joelle (tied #5 Pro$) and Guimo Zuma
Justine ET (#8 Pro$), who together also share #13 GLPI spot. The Top 10 Pro$ cows are
rounded off by Unique HP Bobbi Jo {5}-ET (#10 Milk, tied #3 Protein) and Phylum Rene
Angelil who share #10 Pro$ position and take #28 and #30 GLPI, respectively. Among the
newly indexed cows this round it is Troiscotes Vivaldi Tirelire that achieves the highest
ranking on the GLPI list at #11 (#122 Pro$) and is immediately followed by Phylum Titanium
Valerie ET at #12 GLPI (#22 Pro$). The highest new cows for Pro$ include All Lynns
Dignitary Vensa at #16 (#23 GLPI, #3 Fat, tied #5 Protein), Reyla Nikon J’Adore ET at #17

Steady Round for the Milking Shorthorn Breed
This August release represents stability for previous breed leaders, especially for sires. In
fact, the list of Top 5 LPI has only minor reshuffling of the same bulls with Treeton Pingerly
still at the helm as #1 LPI, #1 Milk, #3 Fat, #1 Protein and #2 Conformation. He is followed
by B Jurist, who holds on at #2 LPI and also takes #2 position for Milk, Fat and Protein.

#4 Protein) to occupy #3 and #4 LPI positions, respectively, while the Top 5 LPI list is
completed by Oceanbrae Ironman-P ET in #5 spot (tied #5 Conformation). For cows, there is
slightly more re-ranking but the breed is still led by Kulp-Gen Jurist Angel EXP-ET at #1 LPI
(#1 Fat, #1 Protein). Lady Grove BJ Charm climbs one spot to #2 LPI (tied #5 Conformation)
and surpasses her dam, Lands-Brook Chardonnay-ET-EXP, who now takes #3 LPI (tied #5
Fat, tied #2 Conformation). The two remaining cows on the Top 5 LPI list this round are Lady
Grove TP Lady Nancy 8, who climbs from #7 to #4 (#2 Protein), and Lady Grove BJ Cherry
at #5 LPI (full sister to Charm). The two highest newly indexed cows this round are Eloc
Pingerly Crunk (Pingerly x Kourt) at #13 and Onaknoll Ironman Lori (Ironman x Pingerly) at
#14 LPI.
“Prada” Confirmed as Conformation Specialist in Guernsey
Previously proven in the United States, Indian Acres Prada-ET (Aaron x Magicman) receives
his first official LPI this round at #26 and confirms his status as a type specialist, becoming
the new #1 Conformation bull at +12. As for the Top 5 LPI list, it remains exactly the same
with Pine Ridge Double L-ET staying at #1 ahead of Trotacre Enhancer Lewis ET (#2 LPI,
#1 Milk, #1 Protein). They are followed by maternal brothers Golden J Ronald Grumpy at #3

View Urma’s Expense as she reaches the #5 spot to complete the list of Top 5 LPI cows this
round. The highest newly indexed cow this round is Guernsey View Zara’s Brynn (George x
Blue Spruce) at #34 LPI.
It’s Quiet on the Scene in the Canadienne Breed
After receiving two newly proven bulls last round, this August release sees high stability with
no bull changing more than 85 LPI points and the bulls on the Top 5 LPI list remaining
unchanged. With Expo still at #1 LPI (#1 Milk, #2 Fat, #1 Protein), he is followed by Volcom
(#2 LPI, #3 Milk, #4 Protein, #2 Conformation) and Simon (#3 LPI, #1 Conformation), while
Faberge (#1 Fat, tied #3 Conformation) and Urluberlu (tied #5 Conformation) switch places
to now occupy #4 and #5 LPI positions respectively. On the cow side, the Top 5 LPI remain
