Prairie Sky Ranch - Quality Tibetan Yak

Prairie Sky Ranch raises Tibetan yak in Rolling Ground, Wisconsin, situated in the Driftless Area of southwestern Wisconsin near the confluence of the Mississippi and Wisconsin Rivers, roughly an hour from Madison.

Nicole Geijer Porter and Dan Salvato purchased their 83-acre hilltop ranch in 2015 with a focus on breeding a pure heritage herd of Tibetan yak. Their herd traces to stock originally imported from wild bos mutus yak in Tibet, and the program emphasizes retaining that genetic purity rather than crossing with domestic cattle. Selection criteria center on conformation, fiber quality, temperament, and the square-headed structural traits associated with the Imperial line.

Prairie Sky Ranch is a lifetime member of The Livestock Conservancy, reflecting a broader conservation mission around the heritage breed. Porter also founded the World Heritage Yak Conservancy to research yak genetics and support purebred populations both domestically and in the Himalayas. The ranch practices grass-fed, regenerative ranching on land the owners describe as exceptionally nutrient-rich. For those seeking Tibetan yak for sale in Wisconsin from a conservation-minded, heritage-focused program, Prairie Sky Ranch represents one of the more documented operations of its kind in the region.
