    Endangered breeds
    (Ministry of Agriculture, Republic of Estonia, 2012) Ministry of Agriculture, Republic of Estonia
    Estonian Native cattle has a similar history with our people. Name of breed: Estonian Native Cattle; Year and place of establishment of the herdbook and association: 1920, Pärnu; Occurrence: all over Estonia, more in Pärnu, Saare and Rapla Counties; Population size (2011): ca 1500; Breeding organization: Estonian Native Cattle Breed Society. General. The Estonian native cattle have had a difficult, but interesting destiny, which, in many ways, is similar to the destiny of the Estonian people. This breed has been developed from the local aboriginal cattle throughout centuries and has preserved several characteristics despite different challenges – their peculiar looks and special characteristics of milk. The Estonian Nativadder, it also experiences less digestive diseases. In addition, it is not demanding regarding keeping conditions, its life expectancy is long and easy calving. There are fewer stillbirths in case of native cattle than other breeds of bovine animals in Estonia. Its milk has high milk, protein and lactose content and suits well for the production of cheeses, curd and yoghurts. Estonian Native Cattle is the cultural legacy of the Estonian people. This breed is considered the closest direct descendant of the aboriginal cattle, which was popular in Estonia and Livonia during previous centuries. Estonians have been keeping those cattle, because the local breed has been very hardy in our tough conditions. Purposeful breeding of the Estonian Native Cattle began in the beginning of the 19th century. There were 20 000 native cattle in Estonian farms before World War II, but in course of history, the number has decreased to around 1500. Less than 500 of those are pure-bred animals with data concerning their pedigree. Due to small number of animals, the breed belongs to the list of endangered breeds. In spite of everything, this small, hornless, pale red cattle have found a secure place in dairy farming – already since 1977, this breed forms 0.4% of all the dairy cattle in Estonia. Since 2000, the state has given support for breeding and conservation of Estonian Native Cattle. Thanks to this, as well as enthusiastic native cattle breeders, the number of Estonian Native Cattle has slowly started to increase.

    Farming & Adaptation. Sustainable adaptation of typical EU farming systems to climate change
    (AgriAdapt, 2019) Trötschler, Patrick; Leming, Ragnar; Métayer, Nicolas; De Miguel, Eduardo
    It is the late spring of 2016 in Europe, wheat and rapeseed have had a good growing season so far. The ears of wheat are in place and pollinators are rejoicing on the rapeseed flowers. However, it is getting very cloudy ... the wind picks up and it starts to rain. Although rain is normally welcome, it is not at this time of year, and certainly not in this way. This intense rainfall batters the crops with incredible strength, damaging them, causing lodging in cereals and affecting pollination. Yields will not be the same this season.
