That's up to you! Yak math is a lot more expensive than chicken math. If you are trying for royal calves, you will have to get a trim or royal bull at some point. Are they really that much more valuable??

Oh, and just a disclaimer, all this yak genetic info came from that one link from the breeder. If his info is incorrect, so is mine. I am just interpreting what he said.

Not sure I really like the looks of some of the royal I guess what is really want are as many possible options as I can afford and have room for will give me a greater market.

Although bloodlines and individual health/confirmation are more important to me.

Ie crazy Sheila is a very LARGE cow. so even tho she is a native should have very nice sized calves for breeding or eating Wagoner is her calf and a really nice looking boy I think he is going to be as impressive as Porter.

yes. Imperial is recessive.  You need 2 imperial genes to get a black nose.  Of course if the yak has a white face (royal or trim) you may not be able to see the black nose, but the the imperial genes would still be there. 

What color would the nose be?

SO  the yaks have again gone thru 2 tubs of lics  in a month     $250.00 a month for suppliments is getting pricey

Maybe they don't need it in the summer?

royal would be the same as piebald/pinto native is a grey nose and Imperial is black nose. both are solid black fur

trim is either native or imperial with a little white. usually on face, feet and maybe tail.

I wanted to make sure the cows stayed in good condition for breeding back and to help with milk for current calves

BUT the lics are held together with beet molasses and evidently all my yaks have a HUGE sweet tooth.

cool      and native trumps imperial ??  

Hey it's sounding like a game of poker.

funny how Springer genetics were so easy for me and the yak just hurt my head.



a Black and a Liver gets you both and 2 liver dogs who both had 1 black parent will give you a 25% chance of a black.

Have u banded Tibbets yet?
Twist i was saying i would breed him with the royal cow & u have a 50% chance of getting a royal calf. If the royal cow is pg we would be talking about next 18 months when tibbets is mature. How long were u keeping current bull? By that point he could be breeding his daughters.
