Ayrshire
The Ayrshire breed is originally from the County of Ayr in Scotland in the 17th century. During its development, first it was referred to as the Cunningham, secondly it was reffered to as the Dunlop, and now it is referred to as the Ayrshire. Its characteristics gradually became well enough established to consider it a distinct breed, and in 1786, the first Ayrshire show was sponsored by the Highland Agricultural Society.
