Around here it's not unusual to see a Donkey in the pasture with the cows .

Don't let your dog around a donkey.

Guy on another forum has a couple to protect his other animals

My neighbor has Llamas for protection. We never had coyotes up until about 10 years ago.

They are always on guard and he also got a tax incentive from the government for raising them too.

Mules work good too, but are less trainable that dogs. I don't think you can really trust a donkey or mule with kids either, but almost all the livestock guardian breeds are very good with kids with some experience, and very good with new born animals. I can see with large herds though, having a dozen donkeys is easier to manage than a dozen dogs, as the donkeys eat the same feed as the herd.

We had a Palomino Quarter Horse that killed every stray dog that came on our property. The Horse seemed to make a sport out of it.

I have a field to the east of my house that cattle graze on from time to time and when they're out there, you'll see the donkey hanging out with them.

Donkeys and pigs are probably two of the most intelligent animals. It's not being stubborn, they are smart enough not to succumb to the needs of man like a horse or dog would.

Our neighbors have a donkey.

When we take our GSD for a walk, he looks at us stomping his front feet. Lol.

That's funny. I never saw that video, but me and my wife spent last few weeks driving around looking at houses. And seeing Donkeys in pastures raised a question on why people have Donkeys. Quick Google search showed that it was for herd protection, and since then we mention it in conversations at least once per day for last couple weeks. And now I'm just happy to see that more people are involved in that topic at the same time. Funny coincidence in my opinion, especially considering the fact that I never once in my life before was even remotely interested in Donkeys.

My neighbor has like fifty zillion dogs out of control. And still loses goats to predators.

Get a ****ed donkey.

 

[Yah-Tah-Hey]

Or a burro.

I think there may be a country/western song in there somewhere. Dunno.

Mama's don't let your doggies go near those ol' donkeys...

Yes, that's a reach.

I saw the donkey hanging out with the cows this morning. In the center by the black cow. (Ignore my neighbor's atrocious ditch mowing skills in the photo, he hates yard work)
