WHY JOIN USYAKS?
Joining USYAKS is a great way to connect with other yak owners and breeders. Resources are available through
USYAKS for learning about yak husbandry and the marketing of yak and yak products. Members may register
their animals and track their genetics. USYAKS uses GeneSeek Operations to analyze DNA samples, and
members receive a full report on the animals that they register.
