VIN from DMV, so YIN from DMY? Dept of Mooing Yaks?

Would the YIN numbers help with registration?

I honestly have never heard them "moo" but there was a whole lot of grunting and tossing of heads on Thursday.

I did include those numbers along with their "names" on the envelopes for the DNA testing. It sure cant hurt.
How long before the results come back?

I got them last October. So far 3 bull calves, and all the first timers have calved no issues. Star had a calf last year, The reason I have any concern is because of her size. (belly that is)

 

[Kiki]

maybe twins?

or one fat healthy baby?

Is she due any day?

 

[Kiki]

what do you have yaks for?

I have no idea the last I heard they were over 400 registerations behind on processing. I proritory mailed the dna and wrote DNA all over the envelope and also called and left her a message. They did finally cash the check for it tho.

Do you have to DNA test the babies also or is your word on it good enough if the parent's are registered?

 

[Kiki]

is the registering of a yak the same as registering a dog with akc?

no idea as I am not sure if she was bred before I got her or Porter "caught" her after they got here.

I plan on selling the "good one's -for breeding- the bulls that is" and eating the mean or not exceptional looking bulls calves. So far 2 are NON_eating type and not sure about the youngest yet.

We are still trying to tame down the mother's if Porter gets any tamer he is going to try to crawl inside one of our shirt pockets.

twins are very rare but do happen. If twins praying for both of them to be the same sex and at this point I honestly don't care if its boys or girls.
