To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The near affinity of this animal with the common cattle is shown by the fact that it can be readily crossed with any of the domestic breeds. 1 It is particularly fond of rugged hillside pas- tures, where it scrambles among the rocks like a goat, or grows fat on miserable wiry grass among which European stock would starve. The country along the north shore of Lake Superior would make a veritable Happyland for the Yak. With these general facts of the country and of the beast be- fore me, I found ...no difficulty in getting a sympathetic hearing on the Yak question from the very-much-alive authorities at Ottawa. I was asked to solve the question of getting a small herd to begin with, as well as full information on methods of management. My opportunity for the last I recognized when on a visit to Woburn Abbey, where for so many years this animal has been successfully bred. The whole scheme was still further advanced when, on hearing the details of the proposed introduction, his Grace the Duke of Bedford, with characteristic generosity, pre- sented to the Canadian Government a herd of six fine Yaks to be the breeding start for the enterprise.
