Yaks were also the center of attention during the Wyoming Legislature’s 2021 General Session when the House of Representatives were debating House Bill 52, legislation to ensure funding for a school protein enhancement program.
The legislation, which ultimately passed the legislature and was signed into law by Governor Mark Gordon, directs the Wyoming Department of Education to set aside $25,000 per year for grants available to school districts to help cover processing fees of “Wyoming poultry, lamb, pork, beef and bison used in school meals.”
“A yak is a bovine so they would be included,” House Agriculture, State and Public Lands & Water Resources Chair John Eklund (Laramie, Goshen County) said in response to this question.
