IYAK - Foundation# Y052, WHYC# Y052DOB: 7/13/201114 yrs
Thor has been a fabulous addition to the genetics of our herd. He is tame and gentle and passes that onto his offspring as well. His pedigree includes such greats as Dreadlock, Wooly Bully (import) and Queen Allante (import). He is 3/4 wooly so he adds a little fiber to his offspring as well. Thor is an 'Imperial- Royal' meaning he can throw an Imperial Trim which has the black nose. Thor is quite easy to 'work', he LOVES to be brushed and is quite cooperative in the squeeze chute and head gate. We feel very lucky that he trusts us so much...nothing like the love from a gentle giant!

IYAK - Foundation# K004DOB: 4/17/200125 yrs
Yo-Yo K004 is one of the original 4 yaks we bought 18 years ago. She is the great grand daughter of Sargent Pepper C001, not only was he imported but he was the first Yak ever registered with IYAK! She is now 18 years old and still going strong. She is HUGE compared to what you see these days in Yak cows. You can tell she was built to produce big offspring (can you say MEAT?), some of her sons have reached 6' high at the hump. Yo-Yo has a personality all her own, we have to ask permission to 'scratch your head?' or 'scratch your butt?'. A head shake in front means NO and a tail swish in the back means NO.... No response means 'go for it'. Yo-Yo and Thor have produced some of the most beautiful heifers we have EVER seen.... combining the old and the new lines...sure wish we could keep one, but we will never part with our precious Thor. Had to say goodbye to our precious Yoyo, may she RIP 4/17/01-1/22/20

Yafa Dora was quite the looker and a product of two famous bloodlines combining both very old and new lines. Her mama Yoyo was 15! and her papa Thor was almost 5! Wish we could have kept her.
