Yes, but the whole thing is to simulate Tibetan tea *over here*, right?

Well, this is a sign that I'm too tired to be computerizing, but DELYAKS, a
Colorado outfit <http://www.yakmeat.us/index.html>, just told me that their
prices range from a "green calf" starting at $1000 (hardly a milk source) up
to (I believe) $11,000 -- "depending on the quality of the animal". Honest.
