A Finnish landrace goat in winter
The Finnish Landrace, also called the Finngoat (Finnish: Suomenvuohi),[1] is a landrace-derived breed of goat originating in western Finland. The breed can come in a variety of colors but is usually grey, pied, or white, and both horned and polled individuals occur.[2] Finnish Landrace goats are typically used for milking,[3] as there is not a strong tradition of goat meat in Finnish cuisine, unlike in southern Europe.[4] Finngoats are the only breed of goat native to Finland, and originate from native goats crossed with other European imports, especially from Switzerland.[1]
