We are back from the National Western Stock Show! We had a great time talking with everyone who visited with us. Thanks for your support of Yaks and DELYAKS!
We took 8 of our own Yaks to the Stock Show. We entered 5 of them in the Halter Show and all were entered in the Pen Show. Our Black Royal Yak Bull (I prefer to call him our White Royal Yak Bull) won First Place in the Pen and Halter Show.
We had two bottle baby Yaks we took to the Stock Show. They would curl up to one another during the day. Aren’t they soo cute. The Black Trim ended up going to a new home at the end of the Stock Show.
The National Western Stock Show is fast approaching, and we are getting ready to attend. DELYAKS will be there January 21st until the 23rd. Will you be there to watch the Yak Halter Show on January 22nd or perhaps try some delicious yak meat? How about taking some home for the whole family to try.

Yak meat is a naturally ultra-lean dark red meat (95% to 97% fat free overall) and is still very juicy due to it’s high percentages of Omega 3 oils, CLA’s ( Conjugated Linoleic Acids ), Oleic Acids,and Stearic Acids, (35% higher than beef as a percentage of fats that are good for us). At the same time, Yak meat is very low in Palmitic Acid which is bad for us (30% less than beef as a percentage of fats, and 120% less than beef as a percentage of meat).
If you cook Yak meat right (medium rare to rare) you will taste the exquisite flavor and tenderness that is Yakmeat.
In this video, you can see that the Yak meat is well done. Do not try Yak meat this way, no matter the cut! It ruins the flavor and experience. In our experience with blind taste test, Yak meat always won over other quality meats. Yak meat is a sweet and delicately flavored red meat. Yak is juicier than buffalo and elk, and never gamey. It is lighter tasting than beef, never greasy. This all-natural premium lean meat is never bland or mushy. You will love it……… But only if you are willing to try it!!
“Every now and again at some festival in central Asia, these polite, patient yaks let some dudes dress them up in a fancy costume, jump up on them and race them.”

The Hongyuan Dairy Company wants to expand their facilities in southwest China in order to meet increasing domestic and international demand for nutritional products derived from the yak. Yak products are organic and offer many healthly benefits.
Have high cholesterol? Scientists at the National Research Centre on Yak (NRCY) have found very high omega-3 fatty acid in the meat of yak. Omega-3 fatty acid is made up of eicosapentaenoic acid, docosohexanoic acid and α-linolenic acid. Along with Yak meat being high in Omega-3 fatty acid, it is also high in conjugated linoleic acid – helps combat cardiovascular diseases by keeping cholesterol in check.
Omega-3 fatty acids are part of a healthy diet that helps lower the risk of heart disease. Increased intake of EPA – eicosapentaenoic acid has beneficial effects on coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and inflammatory disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis. DHA – docosohexanoic acid is essential for the proper functioning of our brains as adults, and for the development of our nervous system and visual abilities during the first 6 months of life. ALA - alpha-linolenic acid and other omega-3 fatty acids may help treat a variety of conditions. The evidence is strongest for heart disease and problems that contribute to heart disease, such as high blood pressure. CLA – Conjugated linoleic acid is a good fat that may be a potent cancer fighter. Possible benefits of CLA are: Increases metabolic rate Decreases abdominal fat Enhances muscle growth Lowers cholesterol and triglycerides Lowers insulin resistance Enhances immune system
