The Ayrshire is the ultimate, economic dairy cow and is characterised by high quality, longevity, ease of management and overall good health. Typically, the Ayrshire is a medium size cow with an ideal conformation and who will excel in all dairy farming systems and environments to provide breeders with margins that keep their businesses performing with profitability.
The milk produced by an Ayrshire has a tremendous balance of component levels and produces healthier milk proteins which are easier to digest than those from other breeds which contributes to a great taste and is very much sought after for both bottling and processing. Many Ayrshire breeders are successfully producing and selling their milk directly to local customers, reducing carbon footprint and improving the sustainability of their business.
