Since we were adopted by Yaks in October of 2003, we've become complete and unabashed Yakaholics.  They're beautiful, intelligent, and absolutely fascinating,

(Yakaholic - One who is addicted to Yaks, and/or one who exhibits an extreme love for and devotion to Yaks.  There is no cure, but then, no Yakaholic has ever WANTED to be cured!!!)

Within these pages you can get a glimpse into a Yakaholic's world.  We hope that you'll enjoy yourself, and that you'll invite your friends and neighbors to visit us, too.

The Yaks get on well with the Pygmy Goats, Pete the Donkey, Huey the Gander and Hildegard the Goose.  They all share the pastures, creek, and water troughs without any major trauma or upset.

Even the indoor critters who only see the Yaks through window glass have become Yakaholics.  They spend endless hours Yak-watching from the windowsills.

Yaks are great fun.  Here are a few shots of them going about their daily business.

Like clockwork, the Yaks show up in our front yard at dawn and dusk.  It's mealtime, of course.  Yaks require no special fencing and one third less acreage than cattle.  They thrive under virtually any weather condition and are disease resistant.  Crossbreeding Yaks with cattle produces fertile female and sterile male offspring.  They are very quiet, but do communicate verbally with in a guttural, low pitched Yak language.  They are mild mannered, friendly critters who enjoy being petted and groomed.  If you are interested in adopting some of these lovely critters, we have several who are available. 

We've provided this site so that you can get a glimpse into a Yakaholic's world.  We hope that you'll enjoy yourself, and that you'll invite your friends and neighbors to visit us, too.
