[QUOTE="dolf_lundgren, post: 4818910, member: 3457"] We seem to spend a lot of time crossing lots of different breeds to try and get the traits that the Ayrshire had 30 yrs ago! Unfortunately Ayrshire breeders seem intent on destroying it by trying to mimic a Holstein and crossing too much. They have lost the focus on what an Ayrshire is for, good foraging, quality milk and good feet and legs. They were never means to give 10k litres of white water and live in a shed 365. Should be a good option for a 3 way cross. [/QUOTE]
