Number 21 was born to a black white-faced Angus cow (bred yak) on
September 21, 2001, one of our late calves that year.

Hooves down, she is our most uniquely colored critter, ever.
When she was younger, she was always the eager beaver, so to speak.
She was first in line when the hay bales were rolled out in winter,
first in line when we moved the herd, etc.
However, she has mellowed over the last couple of years and now lets others take the lead.
She has been a great mother and has always thrown a fairly plain looking calf. That is, until last year.
When she calved on July 4, 2010, we couldn't believe it.
He's nearly the spittin' image of her.
Although we don't normally name our yaks and yak-crosses, perhaps we should have called him "Blackjack"?
