very diiicult to obtain this quantity from Devon
almost impossible from an Alderney, but compare
lively easy from an Ayrshire. ShOrt-horns, they say
are large mixers, but great caters as well. and
by actual test they have ascertained that two Ayr
sires give as much milk three Shortilorns while
two Short Horns require much food as three Ayr
