A breed of dairy cattle originally from Ayrshire, Scotland, known for their reddish-brown and white coloring and high milk production.
From Ayrshire, a historic county in southwestern Scotland, from 'Ayr' (possibly from Gaelic 'inbhir' meaning river mouth) and 'shire' (Old English 'scir' meaning administrative district).
These beautiful cattle are living ambassadors of Scottish agriculture! Developed in the 18th century, Ayrshires were bred to thrive in Scotland's challenging climate and terrain, making them remarkably hardy and efficient milk producers worldwide.
