Our friends told us that goldfish would keep a stock tank sparkling clear all year…. They told us to get a dozen “feeder fish” and that we would have to replace several of them over the first few months as they acclimate to the tank. The original 12 are doing a great job and our [...]
Yakkity-yak, cholesterol lack. May be duplicate but I just gotta keep on yakkin’. Yak Meat Cholesterol
It seems that even in NewYork the best place to get yak is Colorado. I think his description of yak meat is accurate. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/28/nyregion/28entry.html
Western China’s most abundant resource, the humble yak, are now helping Tibetan nomads.
Farmed in the region for centuries, the yak has been a traditional source of sustenance.
But now, Yaks are also providing luxury fibres and gourmet cheese to some of the world’s leading fashion houses and hotels.
They’re apart of social enterprises – businesses which aim to achieve social, environmental and financial goals.

Hey anyone/everyone that loves Yaks. I really have no idea of what to blog about. I can tell you that in the grunge of a recession and mire of my business reality, yaks continue to lead me in the right direction. My family had the opportunity to take “a road like Black Bear Road” last [...]
An interesting video demonstrating the milking of a yak. Seems a bit of a roadside attraction but yurt is cool!
BERTHOUD — When someone mentions yaks, thoughts surface of hardy, cold-weather animals helping Sherpas carry gear up Mount Everest — not grazers on land west of Berthoud.
But if you think you spot the long-haired pack animals on the Colorado country, don’t blame your glasses.
They make the women tough round here.
I kid you not, we saw one punch a yak, full in the face.
I guess the yak wasn’t doing what it was told. And it didn’t seem to take too much notice of the punch either.
We got the impression it probably happened on a fairly regular basis.
The female yak-herder just clenched her fist and pow! She gave the animal one, right on its nose.
Folks, this is a great song inspired by a young bull yak we sold to some folks in Florissant CO. He was a bit rambunctious and escaped to the Fossil Beds National Park were we could not drive in and get him. We were able to walk up and feed him a number of times but we could not catch him. Finally his new owner was able to bring him in and Matthew is now happy at this new home. One thing we have learned is that yaks have to know they are home or they will try to go back where they came from, making friends all along the way!
Eileen and Carl Koop can’t knit a stitch, but these ex-New Yorkers – he’s a former software engineer, and she’s a chemist — know from yarn. Their Bijou Spun skeins are spun from pure yak down, or yak down mixed with wool, bamboo, nylon or alpaca. Each spring, they painstakingly comb their 15 yaks on Bijou Basin ranch in Elbert County, and send the collected fiber off to be washed, processed and spun. We talked yak recently with Carl.
