This past weekend
mbala and I went to pick up six new yak, bringing our herd to nine! Yak have a very strong herding instinct, and don't feel comfortable in small numbers.
We got three yearlings (similar in size to our current yak) and three very young babies, who I introduced to the bottle. My life for the next few months is going to be feeding babies - I am going to give up on smelling like anything but milk replacer during this time.
Here are Azula and Korra, the best sight in the world. Sleepy babies with full bellies.

Yes - we would like to have a herd of very tame yak, and bottle feeding is one of the ways to do that - we'd like to get a tame herd where the mothers can raise their own babies, but are comfortable with people, so we can socialize the young ones with people while the mother raises them - but it will take some time to get there, so babies were the best bet. It was also partly that they were available and needed to be sold - so we ended up with some yearlings (not tame but young enough to hopefully come around) - and three little little ones.
