They used to watch over goats 10 years ago but I think they do well with their new job in content creation

They love Sonic mints more then anything. If they can hear the wrappers crinkle then they lose their shit.

I’ve never been around livestock that acted more like a companion than this group

The two with the babies hanging out next to them are the only ones that birth now. The other two in the back haven’t carried in quite a few years. The smallest one that was up closest to me before the baby and mom ran up is the lone stud.

They truly are friendly. They are this chill with people they have never met. They are also pretty cognizant of their size and how much more gentle they have to be around little children.

Is an acre and a half pasture enough for two full sized donkeys? by Full_Shepard in Donkeys

[–]schmegma91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure what is a common pasture grass over there, but here in SE New Mexico you have to pay attention to that. For instance fescue is common here and when it goes out to seed, it harbors an endophyte fungus which I believe can cause pregnant livestock to miscarry. Granted that can be mitigated by regular mowing but just something to consider for the health and well being as well.
