YAKETY YAK COWBOY BEAGLE

Written by John Williams

Montana movie star, Jack the Bitterroot Beagle, was recently invited by Larry Richards to visit his famous Living Diamonds Tibetan Yak Ranch.  Larry's ranch is located near Polson, Montana in the gorgeous Mission Valley.  Larry raises Yaks and currently has over 50 of them.  That number will increase dramatically very soon when baby Yaks join the herd.  Back in 1997, Larry flew 12 of his Yaks to Argentina where they starred with Brad Pitt in the movie, "Seven Years in Tibet". Jack had this to say about his visit to Larry's Yak Ranch, "Larry volunteered my dad to help him round up these Yaks so he could give them de-worming shots.  I just sat by the fence and laughed.  Those old men were sweating like dogs and huffing and puffing like you wouldn't believe."  When they weren't able to corral the Yaks, Jack the Bitterroot Beagle came to the rescue.  "I was able to herd most of the Yaks into the corral so Larry could give them shots.  The Yaks tried to scare me (many did a real good job of it too) but I never let on that I was.  I was too fast and had all the right moves to avoid being stepped on and gored by those big, wooly beasts.  Larry invited me back when the baby Yaks are born.  I'll share that experience with you when I get back." < Prev   Next >
