II. General Appearance The Ayrshire is a 

 sprightly looking animal of what may be termed the 

 plain plebeian type, with straight top and rear lines 

 and possessed of much relative development in the 

 hindquarters. 



III. Compared with Holsteins. 



(1) In general outline of body the Ayrshire might almost 

 be called a miniature Holstein, if the color markings were 

 changed and the horns differently curved, but 



(2) The head of the Ayrshire is probably a little stronger 

 relatively, the horns are much more erect, the eye is not so 

 restful, the play of the ear is more active, the skin is thinner 

 and the teats are considerably smaller. 



(3) The Ayrshire is also more active in movement.
