These are shots from the Musk Ox farm in Palmer Alaska. They had 15 babies all about the same age. These here are a few months old. The mission of this site is to domesticate the animals in order to comb out the quiviut, the under hair, or wool that is highly prized. They look like they should be in the buffalo family, but they are related to the goat.
We do have herds roaming out in the coastal areas of this region. In Toksook Bay and in Mekoryuk they were easy to spot.
