[QUOTE="Bigfoot, post: 1281643, member: 17956"] I wasn't going to tell this tale, but I think it merits sharing. I've got a couple of donkeys, running with my main herd. Their not actually mine, but long story short, they've been under my care for about 3 years. A jack, and a pretty aged Jenny. They ain't a lot of trouble, and until yesterday, I never minded them being there. They make it a little aggravating to catch the cows sometimes though. Anyway, back to the story. This jack has ran with my cows for 3 years, and ran with cows before coming to my place. So he should have done showed himself, if he was going to. I was checking the cows late yesterday evening, and shut the 4 wheeler off to just sit and watch the herd pass by. As I'm sitting there, way off over the hill, I hear a baby calf bawling in distress. About a half dozen of my cows take off in the direction of the commotion, and actually beat me there. The Jack is doing his best to kill a 3 week old calf. The cows actually run him off, and the calf is fine, and was still fine this morning. I live on the place my cows are own, and spend most of my time within eyesight, or ear shot of what goes on. First time I've ever seen anything like this before out of the donkey. I just tell this tale, as warning. Depending on your donkey, you might want to rethink having one. I stretch em once a year, and trim their feet. I said last year I was going to cut the thing the next time he was on the ground, and didn't. I don't know if being cut would have prevented this or not, but I wish I had. [/QUOTE]
