It is a species that occurs in the abdominal cavity of cattle, buffalo, bison, yak and various species of deer, but rarely in sheep.
A small population lived chiefly off yak herding and barley growing, leaving fields fallow for long periods to prevent leaching and erosion.
The proposals are in danger of alienating law-abiding young people from doing what young people like to do, which is sitting around talking and having a yak.
The principal economic activity is animal husbandry, pastoral yak, goat, sheep, and so on.
Conversely, yaks do not thrive at lower altitudes, and begin to suffer from heat exhaustion above about.
Milk from water buffalo, goats, ewes, mares, camels, and yaks however, is also used to produce yogurt in various parts of the world.
Prohibitions against beef extend to the meat of (water) buffalo and yaks to some extent.
Among the animals more commonly found in the alpine zone are yaks, mainly reared for their milk, meat, and as a beast of burden.
