    ...nice calves every year. There have been two occasions where I got knocked. The first was from a big steer who was going after my Goldendoodle. ****** dog was tormenting him, then ran to hide behind me. I was doing something else at the time, and not paying attention to what was going on...

    No, they purchased some meat from us before we had Norbhu processed. I think they bought some pieces of Bayak Obama, if I remember correctly. :)

    Caroline uses hers mostly for sheep protection. Yaks are intolerant of coyotes, or anything else canine, for that matter. They pretty much destroy anything that looks like a coyote. They are basically hairy cattle with horse tails and horns. They are more intelligent than cattle, and easier...

    Yes, you probably did. His name was Norbhu (Precious Gem in the Tibetan language). He was our only Royal (black and white with pink nose). We do not breed for Royals-his mom came to us pregnant, unbeknownst to us or the person who sold her to us. I lent him out to another friend last Winter...

    Yes, she did. :) I absolutely love Caroline, Larry and their little guy. We have stayed in touch all this time, and have visited one another on occasion. She still has the two yak girls that she bought from us. She has borrowed one of our bulls a couple of times, for breeding, so she has...

    Hi, there. It's been a LONG time since I've been on here, and I've forgotten my way around. I'm trying to find out if anyone in MI has any Cayuga ducks and/or Heritage breeds of turkeys for sale. I culled all of my turkey breeders this year, in order to start over, only keeping 4 young...

    Quote: Thank you That's great! I read the genetic color pattern info on IYAK's site (I read most of the site, actually). If I had trim cows, I'd have a 50/50 shot at royal calves... not too shabby . A royal bull calf is indeed a nice surprise Do you have pics of him? Yes, I do. Here's one...

    He's a beauty! So is his daddy. We have mostly Imperials and Trims. One of our cows that came to us from Idaho was apparently bred back (she had come with a young calf, so we did not expect her to be bred already). In March, she surprised us with a precious little Royal bull. We decided to...

    9, you're right... it's all about time. If you take the time, you'll end up with exactly what you're looking for. Be sure to take pictures and share with other yakkers! I love seeing the different kinds of breeding going on. I just love these animals, and it's fascinating to see the...

    Yak *Herd Pics pg 5*

    The way most yakkers feel about that is that it would be a sacrilege to disbud a yak. Yaks have so much more personality than traditional cattle, and they are very proud. I have a bottle fed little guy (although not so little anymore), and he has a tendancy to push me around a bit with his...

    Hey, everybody! Haven't been on here in forever. I heard from Sam a couple of days ago, and he told me you're having another Chicken Stock. Got on here to answer a few yak questions, so thought I'd swing over here and say hello. Hope everyone is well.

    Hi, there! Good to see some familiar names on here. Thanks, guys, for calling me 'nice people'. I haven't been on here in quite some time because I've been working as the Chairperson for the Yak Meat Nutrition Committee for IYAK. It's been a big project, and has consumed the majority of my...

    How to caponize a rooster Warning Graphic pics

    I just read this whole thread from start to finish. What a fascinating subject! My Spring hatching resulted in a few little boys. I waited until they were about 15 weeks old to process them, and they were still scrawny. Even so, the meat was already a bit tough for my taste. I would love to...

    Vicki, those are precious little puppies! Congrats! Opa, I wake up pretty close to your time; however, no one is allowed to speak to me until at least 8:00. I'm in pure robot mode for the first few hours of every day. I learned that it's best for me to keep my mouth shut during 'robot' time...
