Covered Bridge Yaks, LLC

Covered Bridge Yaks, LLC raises American yaks on a 60-acre farm in West Mansfield, Ohio, situated in Union County roughly 30 miles northwest of Columbus. Blake Mathys and his family have been working with yaks since 2015, drawn to the breed as something outside the mainstream of conventional livestock farming.

The herd is managed primarily for meat production, with the added potential of fiber harvesting each spring. Most animals in the herd have been sourced from private individuals in neighboring states, reflecting a hands-on approach to acquiring quality stock. The farm also keeps horses, sheep, goats, and chickens alongside the yaks.

Anyone looking for yaks for sale in Ohio will find that Covered Bridge Yaks is among a relatively small number of producers in the eastern United States. The animals are well suited to Ohio winters, spending most of the cold months outdoors and returning to the barn mainly to access water rather than for shelter.
