I just stumbled across a farm here in Colorado that sells Yak http://www.theyakranch.com/ I'm curious, but have never tried it. Has anyone here ever had the chance to try Yak? If so, what was it like?

Thanks

I'm intrigued that noone's tried it! I'll have to be the first. Ok - I probably won't get around to it any time soon, but I"ll let you all know when I do!

Hummm....I will have to check this out. Since I am also in Colorado, shipping should be reasonable

yum. sounds good. i'll be curious to see how much $$.

I was also very curious about this, so I did some more searching. I found another site that sells it relatively cheaply: http://www.yakmeat.us/yakmeat_ordering.html

It looks like these guys are also in Colorado. Wifezilla and I are in the middle of Yak country and didn't even know it!

I have friends who live in Elbert. I never saw yaks while I was driving out on the prairie. I guess I need to pay more attention!!

ok, I know you might want to skip this if you plan to order a yak, but if not check out the yak pictures- they are sooo cute!!!

I don't have any problem eating cute animals. Ok, maybe cute animals I can cuddle with, but if I can't cuddle them, they're on the "to eat" list.

I guess that lets you all off.

They are pretty cute. I don't have a problem with that.

I don't have a problem eating cute things either....unless I have raised them from infancy and named them. ::Sigh:: Looks like I wont be eating duck anytime soon even though I bought dual purpose breeds....


Here are two of my ducks when they were babies... Bebe and Shelley

And a recent photo...


NEVER name your food :P

awww.. how sweet!! They do look too cute to eat.

Well, They do look kinda cute but I still think ducks look much nicer like this:

I miss duck. Wifey doesn't like it, so we haven't had it in a long time. Every year I think about raising some...

The eggs are AMAZING. So even though I am too much of a marshmallow to eat my ducks, they still earn their keep. My runner is the only one laying right now, but I have a buff mix that should be laying any time now and Bebe, Shelley and Wendy should be laying by September. A duck egg has a richer bigger yolk than a chicken egg and is about the size of a jumbo chicken egg. Duck eggs RULE!

I'm guessing if you're just driving along not really paying attention yaks would look very much like the ubiquitous buffalo.

Mmmm. Duck eggs. Let me know when you get to the point of having extras.
