To: Gaffer

My family had a donkey years ago for protection of our goats. Dad shot him dead after catching him actually attacking them. i guess there’s a bad one every now and then.
We have two guard dogs now. Recently, a man in the area retired and with our permission, he walks our ranches at night, hunting coyotes and pigs. On about 5,000 acres, he has killed almost 50 coyotes in the past 5 months and 90 pigs. Our guard dogs are accustomed to his presence now and don’t bark when he’s there now. He likes to hunt and we buy his shells. it’s a win/win relationship.

There may be a bad donkey every now and again, but in my limited experience (we had several neighbors with goats, including one with whom we shared a fence line), goats are very smart and pure evil. I would suspect that the donkey was provoked.

I’d rather herd cats than goats. At least cats won’t destroy fences and the neighbor’s trees.

Does he have a night vision scope? I would assume yes.

Nice job he’s doing, it seems to me, based on the numbers.
