For the Red and White enthusiasts, West-Port Bookman-Red
(Talent x Rubens) joins the list of Cardinal Series sires and can also
be found on the Conformation proof sheet thanks to his +14 index.
The highest LPI increase goes to Howie
with 305 points, which now ranks him in the top 10 among the sires with
a Canadian proof with 2061 LPI points. Also worth mentioning are Denzel's increase to 1849 LPI points (+188) thanks to his production gain, and Ashlar's LPI increase to 2587 points thanks to the improvement of his daughter fertility index to 107.
Ayrshire
Visserdale Tron
ET (Tornade x BBB Kellogg) is the new sire returned to service with a
very balanced proof. Tron excels for health and fertility traits while
showing a more than adequate type proof and improving fat test. On the
list of already proven sires, our battery of stars still remains
dominant.
Jersey
Scottière Knock-Out
(Sultan x Jade) is the first Sultan son to be returned to service with
a strong type proof. He sires daughters that are higher than average
for production while improving all functional traits.
Canadienne
Amandes Nectar ET who was returned to service last January confirms his proof by improving it by 459 LPI points, which ranks him 2nd in the breed.
Brown Swiss
Two sires are added to the proof sheet. Hänny Swiss Gordon Wurl ET (Gordon x Starbuck) is the first sire imported from Swissgenetics to get a Canadian proof that meets expectations with very good type. Jolahofs Polo Jongleur ET (Polo x Starbuck) is a new sire imported from Swissgenetics
being added to our offer. He is the top mammary system improver
available on the market with an index of +18. He also sires tall cows
with favorable milking speed, as sought-after by breeders.
