Taos Mountain Yak, LLC

Grass-fed yak is 95% fat-free and lower in cholesterol than traditional beef. In independent tests done by the Texas A&M University Department of Animal Science, yak samples were found to have a very high concentration of stearic acid and low concentrations of palmitic acid. "This is a favorable composition," said Dr. Stephen Smith, professor of animal science at the university's Kleberg Center in College Station.
