CUTE! I want donkeys now! And what is it with goats and donkeys? Those little sharp Hooves of the goats have to hurt.

And the baby donkeys, so precious.

Actually reminded me, when I was thinking of setting up a prepper place, donkeys would be easier to keep than horses. I also believe donkeys are used to protect other livestock. And it looks like they have a ton of personality!

Not sure how the goats and donkeys do together. Haven’t tried them. Goats like to jump on everything. And yes, they use donkeys for guards. They will kill coyotes, snakes and other critters that threaten cattle. Ours are strictly pets. I saw a couple videos of minis in people’s houses, but I can’t quite convince my old geezer that he would like a 350 animal in bed with us. Guess I have to keep trying.

My dad bought a bunch of goats when I was a kid, some of them milk goats. Then he told me I had to milk them because he had arthritis.
My mom tried to make me drink the milk but I didn’t like it. We sold most of the milk, babies that have problems with cow milk do well with goat milk.
What is wonderful is goat cheese!
