Dzo – Yak/Farm Cattle
The Dzo has a unique name. This speaks to the unique location from which the hybrid originates. The earliest known Dzo were bred in Tibet. Mongolia also bred the pairing. The Dzo is a crossing between a Yak and farm cattle. English speakers usually refer to the Dzo as cattle. This hybrid is well suited to the high altitude and climate of Tibet and makes for a more productive working animal. Males are sterile, therefore each generation must be bred by cross-breeding. This makes developing an actual breed impossible.
