Scottish Ayrshire Export Trade Grows
Scotland expands Ayrshire cattle exports as 19 pedigree beasts head to Ontario. Ayrshire Cattle Herd Book Society secretary Hugh Bone notes a strong rise in the last two years, with 173 head shipped since March and prices between 90 and 100 pounds. Last year 30 Ayrshires aided the University of British Columbia herd, and Canadian and American dairymen are key buyers due to high butterfat yields on small rations. Three Ayrshires can thrive on poor land where two of other breeds would fail.
