We bought our first yaks (three yearling heifers) in 2013 and welcomed our first calves in the spring of 2016. Our main focus is on producing quality breeding stock and meat.

Our animals live outdoors in herds year-round and have ample room to roam, run, and romp. They graze in pastures through spring, summer and fall and eat locally raised hay and alfalfa in the winter.

All our yaks are registered–or can be registered–with IYAK and receive vaccinations and deworming. We’re a small farm, so calves and adults get lots of attention and are pasture friendly. We’re also working on halter training some.

Learn more about yaks in North America on the International Yak Association (IYAK) website.

Our Yak Herd

We bought our foundation stock from Springbrook Ranch in Kalispell, Montana. You can find more detailed information on our yaks’ ancestries by searching for “Amaranta Farm” on the IYAK “Find a Yak” page.  You can also visit our Yakzz farm page
