Excerpt from The Ayrshire Record, New Series, Vol. 3: American and Canadian Ayrshire Herd Record (Old Series, Vol; VII.) For cheese the Ayrshire is placed first. For butter the Ayrshire is placed fifth. For milk and beef the Ayrshire is placed fourth. The Jerseys are not mentioned in the second or last class. In classing for butter, alone, he disregards the mere quantity of milk, and considers only the yield of butter, in connection with size of cow, which may partially account for the Ayrshires not taking a higher and perhaps deserved rank. The Ayrshire breed, however, has the highest average excellence for all classes. NO other breed stands at the head in two classes.
