Why Raise Yaks

"Why Raise Yaks?" is the name of a brochure produced by the Yak Appreciation Society of America. The brochure is aimed at newcomers, and its tone is that of a genial but slightly eccentric uncle, who suggests you might consider raising yaks because

They are hardy. They can thrive in temperatures ranging from 100° F to -40°F.

They require less feed than cattle.

They have few diseases, and they are resistant to parasites.

They are easier to handle than cattle or sheep.

The fiber can be woven into rugs, duffel bags or rope.

If you want to be rich, you should get rid of anything that distracts you from taking risks.

You probably think of yak-raising as a career for people with no other options. But if you're going to take a big risk, why not take one that's at least amusing? It's hard to find anything more amusing than raising yaks. Yaks are funny animals. They have long hair and big noses and they live in the mountains and eat grass. If you have yaks, you can say "yak" all the time, which is fun. And yak milk is good for making cheese.

If you don't want to raise yaks, what do you want to do? Whatever it is, people will laugh at it. If you do it anyway, they'll laugh less as time goes on. Don't let their laughter drown out your own inner voice, especially if it 's telling you something important.
