Recently, among friends, the subject of yaks came up- I know I know, common theme, but I mentioned that I had seen some in a field near my house. I shook my head and mumbled something about how truly rural I had become. Without blinking my friend Deidra turned to Laurie and said, "Speaking of Yaks, did you get my goat info.?"


According to http://www.fao.org

Hmmm... who knew?
