Bulls are the cornerstone of any cattle breeding program. It is no different for yaks. We pride ourselves having great herdsires with proven results. We have a number of up and coming greats to add to your herd. A bull can make up 50% of your herds genetics. If you are serious about the quality of your herd, take a look at our yak bulls and give us a call. We can talk about your goals and help you make the right choice for your next yak herdsire.

We strive to build great yak genetics throughout or herd. Our cows display the same commitment to quality as our bulls. We select for robust cows that calve reliably year in and year out. Calving ease and good mothering instincts are key traits in the selection of our breeding cows. Great cows are the key to great bulls.

Yaks of all colors.....

Wed, 09 Jul 2008 19:12:54 -0600

Yaks of the following color types and patterns are found in the United States. Other markings and color patterns, including white, grey, and line back are common in other countries. Although not settled science, more is being learned all the time through breeder cooperation within the International Yak association, from the literature available from other countries, and ongoing DNA analysis. Not to get too complicated, we have listed the phenotypes, what they look like, with a few notes and links to several examples from our herd.

1. Tibetan Black: Black with a Gray nose.

2. Imperial: Black with a Black Nose.

3. Royal: Black and White (piebald).

4. Trim: Black with white trim usually on the forehead, feet and tip of tail. Can be Imperial, Black, or Golden.

5. Golden: A honey brown color (No Photo)
