On the Country Roads. Yaks

My fascination with yaks comes from their quiet resilience. They survive harsh landscapes without resistance or complaint, reminding me that strength can be gentle, steady, and deeply rooted.

Generally, life is good.

Wild, actually domestic, woolly and wonderful.  

Wild yaks are actually much larger than domestic ones and they thrive at altitudes where other cattle couldn't survive, often living up to 18,000 feet.

On the Country Roads. Yaks

This is a yak, a long-haired domesticated animal typically found in the Himalayan region, Tibet, Mongolia, and surrounding high-altitude areas.

 

Last week, on a small farm in Northern Utah, I came across yaks with their long, thick fur. I had never expected to find such animals here, so far from their homeland in Himalayas.
