The Yak in this area not only serves as a sire but also as a beast of burden. The hair is used for weaving of local matting (Charras). Local tobacco pipes (Huka) are made from its horn. In Ladakh legs of ornamental chairs are made from it.

The offshoots of first generation of Yak and Cow are known as Zo and Zomo. The Zo is a sturdy, sure footed and hardy animal. It is used for ploughing and as beast of burden too, while the Zomo is best milch animal of the area.
