Surprise donkey %(&#@!

[Grandpa]

10 mama cows, 10 calves, a bull, and 3 donkeys on my place. Driving home today from a job, go by the small pasture by the old farmhouse and see the 3 donkeys there....and a 4th. Wait, I don't have 4 donkeys. Neighbors aren't missing any donkeys. Fences are all good, gates are locked except for the little gate going in by the old abandoned farmhouse where there is another gate into the barnyard. So, either someone led him in that way, or someone with a key has left me a present, an ungelded jack Jerusalem donkey to mix with my 3 jennies. There was a record horse sale in the county two weeks ago, with prices going as low as $1 due to the drouth. The owner must have gelded himself by mistake instead of the donkey, since he didn't have the cajones to do right by this animal. Sheriff is getting a call in the morning.

Too bad they couldn't leave you a cow instead. :lol:

Yeah, I was wondering if donkey tastes anything like venison. The rain over the weekend meant I won't have to sell my cows for now, but I sure don't need another mouth to feed, especially one that is going to create a whole herd of donkeys.

What kind of seasoning do you use?

 

[Red Bull Breeder]

Salt and pepper to taste Steve.

Salt and pepper to taste Steve.

If they really allowed that, they'd get more than $1 at the sale barn.

It's allowed but you have to do it on the sly or the neighbors complain

I have found when eating horse,donkey or mule you have to be careful with the salt because these animals sweat and the meat tends to be on the salty side anyway, take a case of beer, soak the meat in 6 cans of beer for 4 hours and drink the rest , sure makes it taste better :drink:

I wonder how my brisket rub would work out on donkey?

Donate it to the local mexican food roach kitchen. It should mix well with carne de gato. :cowboy:

Not as far fetched as you might think. Several years ago a burrito stand in Leadville Colo had to shut down after they found the heads and hides of hundreds of cats in the sagebrush behind the owners home. No wonder he always told me my pork butts were to high priced.

We used to use the zebra we culled for salami, no reason to not use donkey for the same purpose, if you have a feral hog problem, they can supply the pork percentage (when you have a good market, there are plenty of feral horses to keep you stocked)

I tried to get my guide to cook up some zebra but he pretended he did not hear me...

Need a better guide next time, I can send a salami recipe though!

I asked my Grandpa once for his recipe for Sopressatta. He laughed and told me one old sow and one old Donkey. e was serious though. That's how they made it in Southern Italy when he was a kid in 1890.

 

[cowman]

Throw a horseshoe in the pot with the donkey when the shoe is tender the donkey is ready.
