About the North American Yak Association
NAYAK strives to preserve and promote yaks, providing resources for the knowledge and advancement of yaks in North America. We are a science-based registry, networking with researchers, scientists and ranchers to improve yak genetics and build a robust yak industry in North America.
Our Mission
The North American Yak Association is dedicated to promoting the health, welfare, and sustainable management of yaks through education, scientific research, and community
support. We aim to advance responsible breeding practices, enhance economic viability of yaks, and establish meaningful benchmarks for raising yaks in North America. By providing the
fundamentals of accurate data collection, fostering proper handling techniques, and addressing regional challenges, we empower members to make informed decisions that improve the well-being of their herds and the value of their breeding stock.
