A Little History of Yaks
Yaks are herd animals. Wild male yaks stand about 2-2.2 meters tall at the shoulder, the
females about one third of that size, and domesticated yaks about 1.6-1.8
meters. Both types have long shaggy hair to insulate them from the cold. Wild
yaks can be brown or black. Domesticated ones can also be white. Both males and
females have horns.
The yak is a long-haired bovine found throughout the Himalaya region of
south Central Asia, the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau and as far north as Mongolia.
Domesticated yaks are kept primarily for their milk, fiber, and meat, and as beasts of burden.

Compared with beef, yak meat has one-sixth the fat and 40% more protein, and while it is leaner and lower in calories and saturated fat than beef, it is still a moist and tasty meat. Yak meat has a superb, delicate flavor. Many people refer to it as sweet and subtle, and we have yet to meet someone who doesn't fall in love at first bite.
