Yaks Funny

Cattle ranchers in the foothills of Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains are no longer yukking over a herd of yaks that keeps getting loose.
John and Laura DeMatteis of Buffalo, Wyoming, raise the woolly, cattle-like animals on their 300-acre Yak Daddy Ranch.

 

They sell the animals, which are native to Asia, for their meat and wool. Problem is, the herd keeps wandering off — more than a dozen times in recent years.

Local ranchers say the roaming yaks were funny at first. Now the ranchers say they eat they grass and worry they could mate with their cows.
Local officials say they're pursuing an ordinance against "yaks at large."
