The tame Yaks are never, I imagine, ‘caught young,’ as Marco says; it is a
domesticated _breed_, though possibly, as with buffaloes in Bengal, the
breed may occasionally be refreshed by a cross of wild blood. They are
employed for riding, as beasts of burden, and in the plough. [Lieutenant
S. Turner, l.c., says, on the other hand: 'They are never employed in
agriculture, but are extremely useful as beasts of burthen.'--H. C.] In
the higher parts of our Himalayan provinces, and in Tibet, the Yak itself
is most in use; but in the less elevated tracts several breeds crossed
with the common Indian cattle are more used. They have a variety of names
according to their precise origin. The inferior Yaks used in the plough
are ugly enough, and ‘have more the appearance of large shaggy bears than
of oxen,’ but the Yak used for riding, says Hoffmeister, ‘is an infinitely
handsomer animal. It has a stately hump, a rich silky hanging tail nearly
reaching the ground, twisted horns, a noble bearing, and an erect head.’
Cunningham, too, says that the _Dso_, one of the mixed breeds, is ‘a very
handsome animal, with long shaggy hair, generally black and white.’ Many
of the various tame breeds appear to have the tail and back white, and
also the fringe under the body, but black and red are the prevailing
colours. Some of the crossbred cows are excellent milkers, better than
either parent stock.
