Jeffree Star shares the \u201ctruth\u201d about ranch after yak meat scandal YouTube: Jeffree StarYouTuber, makeup mogul, and now rancher Jeffree Star is opening up about the outrage he\u2019s received online after announcing that his ranch is selling yak meat. In 2020, Jeffree Star moved from his sprawling California mansion to a decidedly less crowded locale in Casper, Wyoming. There, Star purchased a second home and 80 acres of land, which has become the basis for his latest business endeavor: Star Ranch. Star Ranch is now a sprawling 600 acres large and is home to a slew of yaks \u2014 a shaggy, domesticated wild ox that originated in Central Asia. While this was certainly an unexpected move for the music artist, makeup mogul, and marijuana manufacturer, fans were happy to see him take on this new chapter in his life\u2026 until he announced that he was selling yak meat in May 2022. The backlash that ensued prompted Star to post several videos explaining the situation, where he hit back at criticism over the ordeal and revealed that he\u2019d donated yak meat from his ranch to his local community. Now, Star is speaking out even further about the yak meat madness. In a June 6 YouTube video, Jeffree clarified the kerfuffle, saying that the yaks he raises for meat are not the same animals he raises as pets or for breeding purposes. \u201cPeople are so crazy,\u201d he said. \u201cI think city folk don\u2019t understand farming. There was a very big misconception that, when I announced I was gonna start selling meat, people thought it was all of my pets I\u2019ve been spending the last year and a half with. Sorry! They\u2019re all right here.\u201d View this post on Instagram According to Star, yak meat is one of the healthiest red meats there is \u2014 and it\u2019s true. Experts say that yak meat is low in both saturated fat and cholesterol, and some claim that it\u2019s even healthier than fish or chicken. \u201cYes, it may seem a little interesting to some people, or you were a little perturbed that I am raising yaks for breeding and pets, and then, yes we are also raising yaks for food,\u201d he added. \u201cYak meat is so amazing. It\u2019s actually the leanest, healthiest red meat in America, and no one is talking about it.\u201d Read More: Top 5 music artists to follow on Instagram – He also hit out at rumors claiming that he\u2019d meant to raise yaks for meat in the beginning of his ranching endeavors. \u201cThere was never a plan to raise yaks for meat in the beginning,\u201d he said. \u201cI know some people can\u2019t fathom that, and they want to say I\u2019m a liar. Girl, I\u2019ve been living out in paradise. When I learned more about the animal, I was like oh, I want to try doing stuff like that.\u201d (Topic begins at 6:17) For now, it looks like Jeffree Star will continue his latest business venture with his fluffy yak friends.
