Eastern Finncattle
cattle breed
Eastern Finncattle (Finnish: itäsuomenkarja or kyyttö, pronounced [ˈitæˌsuo̯menˌkɑrja] and [ˈkyːtːø]) are a breed of cattle from eastern Finland. They are a dual purpose breed, used in dairy and beef production.
Cows produce approximately 4100 kg of milk per lactation, with about 4.4% fat and 3.5% protein.
The Eastern Finncattle cows were recognized as a separate breed in the 1890s. There was a need to improve milk production and the recognition of breeds was part of the development work. The general interest in well characterized breeds coincided with strong nationalistic feelings at the time.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Eastern Finncattle” as cattle breed. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as cattle breed. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 20, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1804566. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
