yak sinew
« on: March 17, 2021, 02:06:42 pm »
Anybody try it?  I just got off the phone with a guy down near Cheyenne that runs a yak ranch, and he's intrigued with the idea of somebody using his animals' sinew.  Said he'd send me a bunch (three animals' worth) at his cost if I report back on how it works.

Bovine sinew is bovine sinew.   You can crossbreed Yak and Cattle and Bison. In fact all sinew  is close to the same thing essentially.  It's all evolved to do the same thing.

I think you're right.  But you have to admit, "backed with yak sinew" sounds much more interesting than "backed with Hereford sinew."
