Wednesday’s show was also the largest Ayrshire show held at the Quairyville Fairgrounds in many years. According to Maurice Welk, a member of the dairy show committee, this year’s roster for both the Colored Breed show and the Holstein show totaled 223. And that new livestock bam which was completed just a few short years ago was nearly filled to capacity. But no one at the fair is complaining. “We’ve got more dairy breeders showing especially in the Ayrshire and Jersey breeds. And many of them are just bringing more ani mals to the show. This year we’ve had bigger Jersey and Ayrshire shows than we’ve seen in quite a few years,” said Welk. R & B Wentworth of Quanyvil le captured three championship titles in the Ayrshire show.
