Breed conservation
Herds of Northern are kept at prison farms at Pelso and Sukeva. Private farms are given conservation grants to keep Finncattle. The Nordic Gene Bank for Farm Animals (NGH), founded in 1984, co-ordinates the conservation of Nordic rare breeds. Genetic studies show common ancestry with Icelandic cattle, Swedish Mountain cattle and Western Fjord cattle./ref> These breeds produce a quality of milk protein well suited to manufacturing.
