Canaan West Ranch

Canaan West Ranch raises yak in Westcliffe, Colorado, operating at elevations between 9,800 and 10,600 feet in the Wet Mountains — terrain that closely mirrors the native habitat of the breed. The ranch sits about 24 miles from the town of Westcliffe and roughly two hours southwest of Colorado Springs, in the heart of the Wet Mountain Valley.

Owner John runs a small, hands-on operation focused on producing quality yak for sale as breeding stock in Colorado and beyond. The high-altitude setting — with cool summers, significant annual precipitation, and over 300 days of sunshine — shapes the growing conditions for the herd year-round.

Because Canaan West Ranch is intentionally kept small, John partners with another Colorado ranch to help buyers looking for a complete starter herd, making it possible to source a bull and heifers with diverse bloodlines, varied coat types, and color options suited to a buyer's individual program goals.
