Trim

Yak

The trim Yak is known for being black with white markings on the head, feet, or tail. Yaks were imported to Europe from Tibet in the mid 1800's. From Scotland and Germany, they moved on to Canada and the United States in the early 1900's. There are now about 2000 Yaks in North America. Yaks are also known as the "grunting ox". That's a grunt, not a moo or a bellow. They'll grunt when agitated, hungry, or calling their young. Otherwise, they make no sound at all. Yaks are inquisitive, intelligent, and quiet animals each with their own distinct personality. They learn to come when called and have a highly developed sense of sight and hearing. They make good watchdogs curiously investigating any activity in their vicinity. They can be halter broken upon weaning and learn and retain behaviors such as packing, pulling, and being groomed. ref: thegreenbayyakkers.com
