What is it??

I am use to seeing horses on my drive each day.  Horses, different breeds, the whole gamete of  horsey colors.

I know cows when I see them.

But what the heck is this???

It took some research but I did find out about this new creature.  A yak.  Why would someone want a yak?  Well you can milk them and have yak milk or make yak cheese.  They have very shaggy thick hair which can be make into expensive yak wool.  The wool is comparable to Merino wool for warmth. Yaks are domesticated farm animals that are common in Tibet and parts of China.  They can live at high altitude and frigged temperatures. We have cold winters but hot summers, I wonder how this shaggy critter will like summer around here?
