AYRSHIRES. 
According to the estimates averaged in Table IV, Ayrshire 
. calves and old cows are cheaper in the Northeastern States than in 
the North Central States, while Ayrshire cows during their period of 
highest production are a little higher in the East. The values placed 
on old cows are exceptionally high for the North Central States. 
According to the estimates all classes of Ayrshires reach their maxi- 
mum value at 6 years. (See fig. 4.)
