DairyTalk 369: LPI gains, Pro$ pressure: proven bulls regain importance in Canadian rankings - by Helmut Demmelhuber

This episode is based on a technical review of the April 2026
Canadian Holstein evaluations, highlighting notable changes in
both LPI and Pro$ rankings. Parfect moves into the top LPI
position, while former leaders such as Rozline record meaningful
declines in economic index values. The analysis points to a lower
income ceiling within Pro$, altering how profitability
differences between sires are expressed. It also contrasts the
volatility of genomic young sires with the steadier performance
of daughter-proven bulls. The discussion focuses on how breeders
may need to rebalance profit, conformation, and genetic diversity
under the updated Canadian evaluation framework. With comments on
