Yaks?

[tncattle]

I stumbled upon info on farmers raising Yaks. Does anyone on here know anyone or have experience with Yaks?

Is there really a demand for Yak or Yak cross meat? It sounds good but I wonder if the demand is there? From what I've read it seems to be more lucrative than cattle which surely means there is a catch involved.

Think ostrich, emu, llama, alpaca. They were all fads that sounded good at the time -- many people jumped on those bandwagons and lost their shirts.

I thought was Boots Randolh but then that Yakkity Sax.

I think you're right-it's Boots Randolph.

I thought a yak was what my wife is when she gets on the phone. ;-)

 

[curtis]

I think Mike C is right, I don,t think Boots Randolph did vocals.

Boy,did we highjack this very important thread on Yaks?

The Coasters. I think.

 

[tncattle]

Pretty much what I thought but just wanted to see for sure if y'all thought the same. I think it is the Coasters. To bad they don't make songs like that anymore.

The place across the lake from us has one - I guess years ago when the guy bought this place, whoever had it before just left it! It's a steer and probably at least 10-12 years old - the funny part is, I've gone over and helped him move cattle several times before and boy does my old horse HATE that thing! It must smell different or something - it's not very big - as beef steers go- but plenty hairy! and pretty tame so it doesn't really move when you ride up on it - you have to hustle it along a little - but every time, my old horse snorts and spooks at the dumb thing! Go figure!

I hear that they do better at higher altitudes where its a bit colder and the air is a bit thinner.

 

[sjr725]

don't know about that - but it sure make you do a double take when you drive by his place!
where in Manitoba? I have some friends near Virden?
