Suomalainen Aryshirekarja
(local/other name)

(most common name):
• Ayrshire
(local/other name):
• Suomen Ayrshire
local/other name (English):
• Finnish Ayrshire
local/other name (Swedish):

The Suomalainen Aryshirekarja of today is the result of crossing imported Scottish Ayrshires over the years with:
• native Finncattle
• Norwegian Red
• Danish Red
• Angeln
• Shorthorn
• Jersey
• Dutch Friesian

All this crossing has given the Suomalainen Aryshirekarja of Finland a higher milk yield and a better developed udder than the Ayrshires of Scotland.
