You need to name the miniture donkeys "HE & HAW" ....then when you go out to call them to dinner, you just make the donkey sound, "HeHaw", and they will come running. The more accurate the sound, the better the call!! lol

There's a Christmas cartoon that my boys used to watch when they were young, I'm not even sure if it's still around, but it was about a little donkey that ended up carrying Mary into Bethlehem.

[@susannesteele535]

Alpacas do guard. Farmer Friend had sheep in big fox area. Only ever had 50 to 70 % lambing. Daughter at agricultural college got an alpaca as a school project which they kept. Put it with one of their mobs of sheep and ended up with 110% lambing. Convinced the sceptical and ended up with two with each mob.

[@songbyrdha]

Yeah, I don’t know where he gets that Alpacas aren’t guardians. A lot of people use them to guard sheep. Just ask Australian sheep farmers!! Alpacas are ideal guardians to animals like sheep and goats because they need the same basic nutritional requirements, along with de-worming, and vaccination protocols. It makes management easier on both large ranches and small farms alike. Alpacas are closely related to llamas, so it makes good sense. Alpacas have actually been known to stomp coyotes, foxes, and wild dogs to death. They’re included in the term “guard llama”, so maybe that’s where the confusion lies. 🤷🏼‍♀️.

[@susannesteele535]

Yes I am Australian. The only downside is when herding sheep you have to let them do the herding or they will stomp your sheepdog, lol.

[@ladyroo1170]

Also, a very cool interesting fact about donkeys... they have a cross on them. If you stand behind them, and look at them from the back of their head all the way to their tails, you’ll see it. Our Pastor told us about that one Easter.

[@TheFarmonRoute66]

Houston I had no idea what was in the trailer so I couldn’t even think to comment. But we love donkeys we have two of them on our farm one is white and one is black so we call them salt and pepper. By the way we think you need to get one of those animals that start with the letter H. Come visit our farm we will get you hooked on horses :-)

[@cliffords.8341]

One if the stray cats in my neighborhood that I feed is black and white. Sometimes I call him salt and pepper and sometimes I call him black and white after police cars. For some reason I can decide on which name to call him. 🤔

I went to get one after they loaded the jack they said you can't just have one so they put another one in the trailer it was a female now we have three, didn't get gelded soon enough. My advice is handle the baby as soon as it's born and you will have a Velcro donkey.

Yes put them to work I say! Well at least the male. The female has enough work bringing offspring in this world, nursing him/her, them to do anything else.

[@susannesteele535]

Had a friend with a pair of harness donkeys and a pair of mules. They owned a huge cut flower business. The packing shed was at the bottom of a huge hill. The flowers were growing at the top. A long way away. They would send the donkeys or mules up the hill to find mum, she would fill the waggon with flowers and send them back to the packing shed. The workers thought it was hilarious.

[@probablynot1368]

Almost all donkeys have a cross on their back; they have a dorsal stripe running down from the poll (between the ears) to the tip of their tail. The "cross" is a perpendicular line through the dorsal stripe across the withers and down over the shoulders. Donkeys were portrayed in Biblical works as symbols of service, suffering, peace and humility. They are also associated with the theme of wisdom in the Old Testament story of Balaam's ass, and are seen in a positive light through the story of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey. Legend tells us that the donkey that carried Jesus into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday followed Him to Calvary. Appalled by the sight of Jesus on the cross, the donkey turned away but could not leave. It is said that the shadow of the cross fell upon the shoulders and back of the donkey.

They arrived for a few days of photographing, filming, drawing, and just generally watching his behavior. He’s very sweet. He used to have a pal, Niner (as in ‘Forty-Niners’), who died 4 years ago, but was replaced by a female, named Jenny.
