Did you know that a donkey can be used to guard your livestock? If you didn’t know this, just give your veterinarian Grand Junction, CO a call and he can share more information. Standard size or larger donkeys may make an excellent guardian for your goats, sheep, and other livestock. Donkeys can be very territorial and aggressive when it comes to defending their territory. They do not spook as easily as horses. When danger threatens, a donkey will typically bray loudly to discourage the threat. If this doesn’t work, he may charge the threat and use his teeth and hooves to fight. If you choose a donkey, you should introduce him slowly to your heard as you will want them to accept him as their protector. You will also want the donkey to accept all the territory as his to protect while respecting other livestock that already roam there.
