Musk Ox Farm

Our first stop after leaving Monique and Greg's was to take a tour of a Musk Ox Farm near Palmer, AK. The very soft under fur of a Musk Ox is called qiviut. It is very valuable. One pount of raw qiviut will fill a 30 gallon garbage bag and be worth $150-200. One pound of processed fiber is worth about $400. Click on any of the thumbnail pictures to see an expanded view.
