Yes but I have also don't want to get to many and have to feed them hay all year round some how that just doesn't seem far to the yaks I am thinking a total herd size of about 15 or so. Unless I acquire more land

Do you get any rain in the summers? If it rains or you water, you can rotate pasture... but think it would take quite a large area to feed a yak. They will be on hay anyway, which I'm sure they won't mind too much. they did a study on wild tigers, provided a steady supply of goats to eat, and the tigers were content to stay in a very small area. not their 40 sq mile (or something) territory that they would usually roam while needing to hunt. Betcha wild yaks would hang out at a feeder if it was kept full. But it is nice to see them roaming around, long as they don't get stuck in the creek. Did you ever figure out how to deal with the fly problem?

Heck I sometimes forget how old I am. As a matter of fact, I'm counting years now to figure it out lol. And I'm not joking.

I can keep 3 to 5 yaks on the same amount of pasture as 1 cow.

I know it depends on certain things but do yaks and cows cost about the same ? If you were to buy them?
