BTW, I am not an anti-yak-shaving. What I am cautioning against is getting into the woollen trade without knowing why. If you are having fun hanging out in the warm summer sun on the Tibetan plateau, shaving yaks, producing wool for sweaters to keep you warm during the cold dark winters, then more power to you and your yak shears. But if you are shaving yaks because a bushy unshaved yak looks aesthetically odd.... guess what? There will be unshaved bushy yaks next Spring and every future Spring.
