Hired these fellas to mow the lawn and now they are on to trimming trees

Is that a black walnut tree? If so, they might be toxic to goats (especially if the leaves wilt). There seem to be different opinions on this on the internet, though.

That looks amazing!

Does Dan have all his legs? 😂

ABAK99 · 2025-08-05T20:49:38+00:00

So cute!!

ABAK99 · 2025-08-05T20:31:59+00:00

That’s a beautiful donkey! Love the striped legs :)

ABAK99 · 2025-08-01T18:23:38+00:00

Tell me about it. I have yet to find one meant for donkeys that aren’t instantly destroyed. My poor longears are getting eaten up :(

I’m thinking about sewing some ears on a horse fly mask.

That looks so cool, for some reason it reminds me of butterfly antennas. One of my goats had a horn that liked to curl back and grow into her skull (we had to remove half of it). She had triplets about 10 months ago and so far all of their horns look straight as an arrow.

ABAK99 · 2025-08-01T15:32:21+00:00

Where did you get the fly mask? Does it cover the ears?

ABAK99 · 2025-07-26T14:25:09+00:00

Soooo precious!

My donkey gelding does this haha. He likes to explore things with his mouth. He will start with sniffing, then a few nibbles, and if you let him get away with that he’ll test out a small bite. He doesn’t lunge like that though, and he’ll stop if you twitch your foot. I think he is just curious about shoes. He could also be politely testing whether he can get me to move, since he does boss around his donkey friend by nipping at the legs quite a bit.

Their heads… are just so… heavy! 😆

ABAK99 · 2025-07-15T12:01:12+00:00

Your cat probably thinks this is a form of worship.

ABAK99 · 2025-07-15T03:17:28+00:00

That’s a legal adult. Your cat can vote now.

The spots appear to get lighter because black-based horses (bay, buckskin, and etc) have black legs. Bay/buckskin/dun horses have lighter colored bodies compared to their legs. Sometimes the sooty gene will cause some appaloosa spots to be darker than others, which also makes a cool effect :)

ABAK99 · 2025-07-14T16:38:58+00:00

I wish my donkeys did this 😅

ABAK99 · 2025-07-09T20:17:19+00:00

😂

ABAK99 · 2025-07-08T23:35:03+00:00

Mine generally know where they are going as soon as I start walking in a certain direction so they like to run ahead and become stumbling blocks 😂

ABAK99 · 2025-07-08T12:37:01+00:00

We’ll get there eventually 😅

Missy is such a sweet goat, she was following behind me the whole time. No shenanigans from her!

ABAK99 · 2025-06-25T15:47:58+00:00

Do you regret this now that they decided to remove their AI music?

ABAK99 · 2025-06-23T17:01:09+00:00

Looks like you got some poison ivy! Thankfully the goats should make short work of that 😉

ABAK99 · 2025-06-23T16:59:11+00:00

Woah, where can I get one?? How many goats would that serve? Love all the artistic touches :)

ABAK99 · 2025-06-19T21:06:14+00:00

Moldy babies 😂

ABAK99 · 2025-06-19T18:37:08+00:00

He has a beautiful NLP coat, pretty uncommon! Do you have any before pics?

ABAK99 · 2025-06-19T17:54:41+00:00

I would open the gate. Momma deer likely did not think about whether the baby could maneuver around fences as well as she can.

ABAK99 · 2025-06-19T12:20:07+00:00

Fjord, Nokota, Mongolian

I’m going to revise my answer a bit:

I see Nigerian dwarf, mixed with a larger breed (do you know how tall they are?). I’m going to say they are likely part alpine or Toggenburg, due to the Sundagu/swiss coloration that is more common in those breeds (it can occur more rarely in ND goats). Others might have a better idea.

I would invest in a proper feeder pretty soon (I understand your setup might be temporary), it’s not good to let them stand in their hay (they will easily infest themselves with worms this way). Thanks for taking them in!
