I wonder if having a donkey or 2 onsite would have prevented a mountain lion from getting into the pen area like it did.

Forget that. Put a mountain ram in that pen and see how long the lion keeps coming back.

Donkeys are fantastic watch-animals. Hearing a burro “go off” in the middle of the night - which they do even if a human being they know steps outside to view the night sky - is unforgettable and nobody who wasn’t stone deaf could sleep through it!

....you really almost need dogs to handle a cat...say a couple of Great Pyranees that will stand and fight...hounds can do the job but are bad to run off if they’re not penned up in a kennel.
