Deep Draw Yak Ranch

Deep Draw Yak Ranch raises American yak in Crossville, TN, on the Cumberland Plateau near Knoxville. The ranch follows established breed registry guidelines and routine health protocols including annual veterinary exams and parasite monitoring.

Several offspring have earned ribbons at state agricultural fairs, reflecting steady attention to structure and temperament.

The operation integrates traditional husbandry methods with digital record-keeping to ensure transparency in herd performance. Visitors often remark on the farm’s tranquil setting and the animals’ even-keeled nature, underscoring a long-term commitment to yak care.
