[QUOTE="cypressfarms, post: 1609586, member: 2653"] 15 years ago, no one around my area kept donkeys with cows for protection. Coyote population got large, cattlemen started losing 4 to 5 calves each year to coyotes. Hearing that donkeys have a hatred for all canines, I bought a Jenny for $50 at a stockyard sale. She took to the herd naturally. Since bringing her on, we did not lose ONE calf to coyotes. Now, not only is she still in the pasture, but her three daughters as well. They may be loud, and look a little funny, but it's hard to argue with zero loss. They also forage on what the cows won't eat. I've seen them eating briar leaves in the winter. Require almost no maintenance. I have dogs as well. They learn quick to stay clear. From my experience, they're very intelligent. I trust walking around them more than my most tame horse. They do not "horseplay" (pun intended) around people. [/QUOTE]
