Finnish Landrace goat

This article is about the goat breed. For the sheep breed, see Finnish Landrace sheep.

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]
