'''Yaks''' are large, [[milk]]able domestic animals.  Previous to 40.13, they required significant [[pasture]]land to survive, making them poorly suited as livestock for a [[meat industry]].  However, the grazing change in 40.13 significantly reduced the pasture area required to keep Yaks alive. They now make a reasonable choice for meat industry animals as they produce high quantities of meat while also producing milk.
