FAQs
The first question that we are always asked is, “Why yaks?” Cute, cute, and did I mention cute! Yaks are very docile and friendly. Each yak has a unique personality; while some are a bit skittish, several of our yaks love to be scratched behind their ears! Yaks have a very light footprint on the environment since they don’t trample a pasture because their hooves are small and nimble. They will also eat about a third of what a cow will eat. Since yaks don't sweat, they are completely odorless. Another great quality of a yak is their fiber. Yak fiber is as soft and warm as cashmere and as a garment, it can withstand getting wet. Although milking a yak requires skill, their milk contains a higher nutrient density and butter fat than domestic cow milk. A yak's milk is well worth the effort to obtain.

Yak wool is also warmer than merino.
