Kyyttö
The Kyyttö, also known as the Eastern Finncattle, is a distinctive breed known for its hardiness and adaptability to the harsh climates of Finland. These cattle are typically medium-sized and exhibit a striking appearance with their dual-color coat of white and red or brown. The Kyyttö have evolved over centuries to efficiently thrive in the challenging Nordic conditions, making them robust and resilient. They are exceptionally valued for their high-quality milk, which is rich in protein and particularly suited for cheese production. The breed is also known for its docile temperament, making it manageable for small-scale farmers. Despite their historical significance and utility, Kyyttö numbers have dwindled, leading to conservation efforts focused on preserving this heritage breed. Their ability to graze in marginal pastures and produce in less-than-optimal conditions highlights their importance in sustainable farming practices.
