Delyaks

Delyaks raises yak in Montrose, Colorado, on the Western Slope of the Rocky Mountains — a region Bob Hasse has long considered prime yak country given its high elevation and dry, cool climate. Hasse started the operation roughly two decades ago with a deliberate goal: find a low-maintenance animal that could defend itself, resist disease, and thrive with minimal veterinary intervention.

What sets Delyaks apart from most yak operations is its focus on the rare Golden Royal yak, a caramel-and-white color variant. The vast majority of yaks in the United States are solid black or black with minimal white markings, so the Golden Royal represents a distinct and uncommon niche among yak breeders in Colorado and across the country. Live animals are available in a range of colors, from Goldens and Imperials to Royals and Blacks, spanning newborn calves through breeding adults.

The herd is pasture-raised with no feedlot confinement, no added growth hormones, no steroids, and no fed antibiotics, and animals are processed at a local USDA-inspected facility. Anyone looking for yak for sale in Colorado will find that Delyaks operates at both the breeding and the meat-production level, with the ranch based just outside Montrose, roughly 65 miles southeast of Grand Junction.
