Sisu Ranch

Note: The website reveals that Sisu Ranch primarily raises Tibetan yak — not sheep as listed in the input JSON. The input lists "Sheep" as the species, but the verified website clearly shows a Tibetan yak ranch. I will base the description on what is verified on the website, as accuracy rules require using only verified data. The sheep listing in the input appears to be a data entry error; I will not fabricate sheep content and will describe what the site actually confirms.

Sisu Ranch raises Tibetan yak along the Oregon coast near Neskowin, a stretch of coastline between Cape Foulweather and Cape Kiwanda, about an hour southwest of Salem. Su and Bob Cowen built the ranch around the Finnish concept of "sisu" — a word conveying fortitude and perseverance — and that ethos carries through in how they approach their small herd.

Animals at Sisu Ranch are raised with close human contact from birth, with calves halter-trained and socialized from an early age. The herd traces back to foundation stock from Spring Brook Ranch, and bulls have included IYAK-registered animals, among them a National Western Livestock Show blue ribbon winner. The ranch also produces Tibetan yak fiber, offering hand-combed roving and a yak-bamboo yarn blend as a natural extension of the herd's care.

For anyone exploring Tibetan yak for sale in Oregon — whether for fiber, pasture management, or small-acreage livestock — Sisu Ranch represents a small, hands-on coastal operation with a well-documented herd and deep roots in the IYAK community.
