On This Ranch, to Fall Asleep,… We count Yaks and No Sheep.<\/span><\/h2>\n

This property was a ranch many decades ago, and it was time to restore its historical purpose. It was also the perfect moment to introduce a new animal with a striking, exotic appearance to this valley. <\/span><\/p>\n

With their handlebar horns, buffalo humped shoulders, horse-like tail and long hairy skirt our Tibetan yaks are very pleasant for the eye.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

This breed, which is at home at high mountainous elevations with great temperature extremes, is a perfect match for us. They are exceedingly cold hardy and even prefer to eat snow rather than drink water.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yaks are intelligent, curious, independent, serene, mellow and quiet animals. They do not bellow, bawl or moo. Instead, they communicate in quiet grunts, snorts, and head shakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yaks are a multipurpose animal. They provide a source of breeding stock, meat, fibre, milk (and dairy products), hides and horns. They also make excellent pack and trekking animals. For us, they are just our pets.<\/span><\/p>\n

The North American Yak is a \u201cboutique\u201d niche, but with its eco-friendly hoof-print, it has a great future ahead.<\/span><\/p>\n
