Springridge Ranch Yak-Cross Beef

Springridge Ranch Yak-Cross Beef Springridge Ranch produces naturally raised, grass fed, yak-cross beef that is high in essential fatty acids, low in cholesterol, and very yummy!

The Tibetan Yak is native to the high plateaus and mountainous regions of the Himalayas and is a very hardy and sure-footed animal. Known for its long, shaggy coat, it weighs from 800-1500 lb. and has a life span of 25 years. It sports a set of massive horns, has a hump at the shoulders, and has short sturdy legs and very sharp hooves, enabling it to walk on ice or climb steep cliffs. Yaks have be

en domesticated for over 4000 years. They are raised for their wool, meat, milk and hides, and are used as pack animals. They have a high protein, low fat meat, most of the fat being on the outside of the carcass for warmth. Yaks are easy calving and cross well with cattle. They require much less feed and can better utilize and convert their feed than cattle. Yak-Cross Cattle
Yak-cross cattle, or dzo, retain the high protein, low fat meat of the pure yak, while showing more growth due to the hybrid vigor. They are also very hardy and require much less feed than cattle to maintain weight or to finish. Yak-cross cows have strong maternal instincts, and produce a very rich milk in a small compact udder. Yak-cross calves demonstrate strong hybrid vigor and “hit the ground running”. They tend to be more resistant to disease than cattle. Yak-Cross Beef

At Springridge Ranch, we practice rotational grazing and try to give grazed pastures plenty of rest. It not only improves the overall health of the pasture, but allows wildlife like ground-nesting birds to live undisturbed and raise their young. Cattle ranching helps preserve our natural landscape.

Over the past five years, a group of scientists at the University of Alberta conducted a research study to better understand how rotational adaptive

The old number 14 red yak-cross cow is going to turn 20 this year. That's pretty old for a European cow but not for a yak. Right now, she’s our oldest cow. This year she calved very late, producing a heifer calf born January 6, 2021.
