Three Newcomers Debut Among Top 30 LPI Sires in Ayrshires
The Ayrshire breed receives a group of ten new young sire graduates this round, of which three penetrate the list of Top 30 for LPI. Heading the way is Lashburn Jeopardy at #18 LPI, who is a son of Normandin out of Kildare Kellybuck Jolly (daughter of Kildare Patsy B-Justy- ET). Hautpre Kahlua is the second highest new arrival at #24 LPI becoming the only son of Blackaddar Solid Oak proven in Canada, with his dam being Hautpre Peterslund Karona-ET. Debuting at #30 LPI this round and tied at #8 Conformation with +11, is Duo Star Pokerstars (Poker x Trident). Among the breed leaders for LPI, Orraryd stays firm at #1 and is now followed by Kamouraska Rockstar after he gains 113 LPI points to land at #2 from #11 LPI. Kamouraska Decaf-ET also moves up the ranks, leaving #7 LPI to take #3 spot this round. The highest newcomer last round, Lessard Jumper, gets sandwiched at #5 LPI by two familiar leaders, notably Peterslund (#4 LPI) and B Jurist (#6 LPI). The list of Top 10 LPI bulls is completed by Percy, T-Bruno, Landscape and Kansas ranking #7 to #10 respectively. After suffering losses for both production and type, two maternal brothers, namely D’Albanel Marlow-ET (#14 LPI) and D’Albanel Jurassic (#37 LPI), both slip down the LPI rankings from #2 and #15, respectively.
For Ayrshire cows, the daughter-dam pair of Kamouraska Orra Xuby (#1 LPI, #1 Fat, #1 Protein) and Kamouraska Peterslund Ruby (#2 LPI) stay solidly as breed leaders. Tied at #3 LPI this round are Glen Malcolm Orra Mikie (#3 Protein) and Ramco Orraryd Bess (tied #4 Protein), while Kamouraska Jupi Uby-ET (daughter of Ruby) and Lagace Reality Modique- ET share #5 LPI spot. Visserdale Selena 3 realizes a gain of 126 points to jump from #46 to #7 LPI, a position she shares with Kamouraska Poker Wilhelmina (maternal sister to Ruby). Rounding off the Top 10 LPI list is Kamouraska Xefalda-ET (maternal sister to Ruby and Wilhelmina) at #9 and Kamouraska Poker Rubis-ET (daughter of Ruby and maternal sister to Xuby and Uby) at #10 LPI. The highest newly indexed cow this round is Ramco Orraryd Betty at #14 LPI.

Two young sire recruits also make an outstanding debut as BW Renegade (Maximum x Centurion) takes #3 LPI (#5 Fat) and Chilli Action Colton ET (Action x Connection) arrives at #8 LPI. The influx of these three entrants among the Top 10 LPI stirs up the top rankings, which now include Walker (#4), Legal (#5), Celebrity (#6), Pancho (#7), Dice (#9) and Valentino at #10 LPI.
