Details
Yoseanne was the result of careful consideration of replacing a 19 year old cow in our small herd of 8 yaks. We tend to keep our foundation breeding animals through out their whole life, so adding a new heifer takes lots of research.
Yoseanne 2E132 is from Tom and Lucy Butler with Mesa View Yak Ranch in Dolores CO. Tom and Lucy bought 2 heifers from us years ago and despite the miles between us we have continued to create breeding pairs or starter herds together for many a new yak rancher. They, like us have an appreciation for the 'old bloodlines' when it comes to yaks. Their previous herd bull was THY James Bond...the 3rd to last calf out of the famous Queen Allante D171 who not only was imported into the US over 3 decades ago but was known as one of the longest living yak cows reaching well into her late 20's. QA was dam of many a well-known bull such as Prince Allante.
Our gorgeous Yoseanne... an Imperial Trim, is a Queen Allante great granddaughter. You would not believe the gorgeous calves her and our herd bull Thor (Y052) produce. Thor as well is a great-great grandson of Queen Allante. We take pride in breeding yaks that go back to the very first group ever imported into the US.
