PREFACE.

The Committee appointed to examine and prepare for publication pedigrees of Ayrshire Stock, having completed their labors, offer the following as their Report.

In arranging the pedigrees, we have endeavored to render them simple and exact, and to trace each animal to a direct importation. In a few instances this latter has been impossible, and we have been obliged to be content with tracing the pedigrees to the herds of well known breeders, having their assurances that the animals in question were thorough-bred Ayrshire.

Many breeders, who have taken the utmost pains, and have been at great expense to keep their herds pure, have not been careful to keep accurate records of the pedigrees of their stock, feeling that as long as they themselves were satisfied, their assurances would be sufficient to convince purchasers. This course answered when there were but few cattle of this breed in the country, and the necessity of an organized effort to preserve the purity of the blood had not been recognized; but hereafter it is hoped that every one liberal enough to breed thorough-bred stock, will see the advantages and the necessity of a record of pedigrees, and assist in swelling the next edition of the work, to a size more nearly commensurate with the importance of the subject.

The Committee thought best to have a short history of the Ayrshires, together with the points given by the Ayrshire Agricultural Association, printed as an introduction to the work, and applied to Sanford Howard, Esq., of Boston, who kindly consented to write such an article.
