Secretary Winslow of the Ayrshire association in the 1902 year- book reports that the color that seems to please the majority is dark red and pure white, about one third white in splashes.

They fre- quently appear both long and rather large. Winslow states that. Fig. 130. Gladys Drummond 11800, an Ayrshire cow, successfully shown by J. F. Converse & Co., Woodville, New York. Photograph by the author the size is a matter of local taste, either fine or coarse, the Scotch or Canadians preferring a larger horn than do the people in the States. The body of the Ayrshire is capacious, the ribs being long and well sprung, the rump usually high, broad, long, and level, while the thighs and the hind quarter partake somewhat of fleshiness. The depth of body often appears great, with a relative shortness of leg. The udder development of the modern Ayrshire presents a higher average perfection of form, in the writer's opinion, than does any other breed. The type is not pendent, but the rear part is carried well up behind, while the fore udder has unusual extension. A row of aged Ayrshire cows.
