Talk:Allmogekor

One or several breeds?
Judging from sv:Lista över nötkreatursraser, "allmogekor" is not a single breed, but a collective name for several "traditional" (possibly regional) cattle breeds. Tomas e (talk) 00:33, 4 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, see the website of Föreningen Allmogekon (The Society of the Peasantry Cattle). They list three breeds: Bohuskulla [→ sv][→ fr], Ringamålako, and Väneko [→ sv][→ fr]. The name of the article reflects this: ″kor″ (cows) is the plural form of ″ko″ (cow). ″Allmoge″ is the farming class or rural class in a neutral sense; the British term ″peasantry″, as in the society's translation, seems to have a more negative ring to it, according to both wp and wiktionary.
