Eastern Finncattle (Finnish: itäsuomenkarja or kyyttö]) are from eastern Finland. They are a dual-purpose breed, used in dairy and beef production. Eastern Finncattle cows produce approximately 4100 kg of milk per lactation, with about 4.4% fat and 3.5% protein. 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.
