🐄Farm Friday🐄Say hello the Ayrshire cow! They are known for their red and white color pattern. They can range from almost solid white to a 50/50 mixture of red and white. These cows originated in the Ayr county of Scotland, and the composition of their milk was ideal for early Scottish dairymen to make cheese and butter. The first Ayrshire cows were brought to the United States in 1822. They thrived in the New England climate and terrain, which was similar to that of Scotland.Stop by the barn to say hi to our Ayrshire heifer, Nugget! #newpondfarmeducationcenter #reddingct #outdoors #newpondfarmdairy #ayrshire #ayrshiredairy ...
