[QUOTE="cowgirl8, post: 1284840, member: 22072"] I know i've mentioned it somewhere in this forum to not put donkeys with baby calves. We had a donkey, in fact he's known worldwide via youtube. He died last year and he was around 40. He'd get anything small that wandered into his pasture. We used him to break show heifers, but when the kids quit showing he was allowed to retire. He was a very sweet donkey, castrated, and lived with the horses just fine. If we put cows in their pasture, it was once the calves were older. My daughter also found her donkey throwing around a calf like it was a rag doll...i warned her.. Not sure where people get they are great protectors. I guess if you have a neighbor who has a dog that runs your horses or just crosses your pasture they might work.. Someone told some neighbors of ours that to keep things from killing their goats, get some donkeys. So they got these 2 cute jennies. One day i noticed the donkeys were in a different pasture. Asked the guy and he said, they kill the babies.. They are fine once the goats are bigger and they really liked the donkeys so they keep them separate.... [/QUOTE]
