Historically, Ayrshires were from several unknown breeds crossed to native cattle of the County of Ayr in Scotland. It is not known how the the different strains of cattle were crossed to form the Ayrshire breed is not exactly known. Back in the late 1700's they were mostly black, but brown coloration and spotting started to appear. It is hypothesized that in 1750 the breed started improvements, with the infusion of Shorthorns and Holsteins into the foundation breeding stock. Also, cattle from the Channel Islands where also used to improve the Ayrshire breed to what we know today. Remember though, Ayrshires are not crossbred animals, but purebreds.
