Yak Milk - Cheese - Dairy

Yak Milk, contrary to legend, is not pink but yak butter's legendary status is well deserved. Yak butter tea is the comfort food of the Himalayas. Yak milk is rich in butterfat at around 6% to 11% and this makes it perfect for yogurt, butter, and cheese.

MISSION

The purpose of the International Yak Association shall be to collect, record, and preserve the pedigrees of yaks, to publish a breeding registry to be known as the "North American Yak Registry Herd Book" and to stimulate and regulate any and all matters such as may pertain to the history, breeding, exhibition, publicity, sale or improvements of the breed.
